search.php?author_id=4665&sr=postsLooks like they have had a look at the renault FW!
The thing I noticed about the diffuser pics is how smooth the exhaust flow is around the outer strakes. Really to evaluate it properly have to enlarge a bit and pump the bright and contrast to expose it. It impressed me though ..Mchamilton wrote:http://www.formula1.com/gallery/testing/2011/608.html
several pictures on there that show the RB7 diffuser.
could red bull be bending the rules on the starter hole and using it to create a kind of DDD, they have a newly opened hole below the crash structure..
i cant think of any other reason why they'd waste that "volume" within the diffuser centre section
im no expert on anythin to do with F1 so please forgive if im being retarded lol
I guess we'll have to wait and see when an engine blows or sputters oil.scarbs wrote:I dont want to join in just spoiling Ringos comment, but if you re-read the frotn exit exhaust thread, and look closely at SLCs comments, they are bang on.

( not by name though ) and pose questions with the contrasting ideas. Give them a change to be slammed or lauded. thermal coating in the diffuser mouth? looks coated in light grey. and extended shark fin as well.BreezyRacer wrote:The thing I noticed about the diffuser pics is how smooth the exhaust flow is around the outer strakes.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. It looked like exhaust reside to me with subtle differences in the flow areas.ringo wrote:thermal coating in the diffuser mouth? looks coated in light grey. and extended shark fin as well.
