I expect that as well, on top of exhaust area

Red Bull will test tomorrow 2 aero configurations. Gasly with D-wing less load, Verstappen with more cargo type Australia.
Actual translation Red Bull will try 2 different aero configurations for Friday. Gasly with a low downforce rear wing, Verstappen with the Australia spec rear wing.Capharol wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 12:41yes .....

Is it for cooling? or dual purpose and create a boundary layer, perhaps to attach to the rear wing to make it more effective?foneFanatiq wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 19:15I feel like they should have more openings than just that? Maybe it doesn’t need it but I’m surprised. The w10 has some nice vent slots around the same area. Hopefully the rb15 stays cool enough.
It's for cooling, as it has always been in Bahrain. If it did any good for downforce they'd use it all the time.ispano6 wrote: ↑29 Mar 2019, 04:18Is it for cooling? or dual purpose and create a boundary layer, perhaps to attach to the rear wing to make it more effective?foneFanatiq wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 19:15I feel like they should have more openings than just that?

Is an opening like that, in that location, very detrimental aero wise or not too large of a deal? I know it's not optimum, but if it's a substantial detriment it says to me possibly the cooling is a larger concern than I thought.HPD wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 18:55https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D2wj8VEW0AI3rE3.jpg

Didn't Mercedes have this previous race? Vents in previous years look like grates with slats or multiple gills more on the side pontoons. Did RB14 have this single gill last year? If this acted like a duct then it would in my mind be a way to smooth the air coming around the halo.DiogoBrand wrote: ↑29 Mar 2019, 06:35It's for cooling, as it has always been in Bahrain.
