Red Bull RB12 TAG-Heuer

So VES faster with the old FW than RIC with the new one.

Looks like the same wing from last year then. Not surprising actually. When something's optimized it just is...

I don't know what you're talking about, I don't see a rear wing in any of those photos.

Previous page. Many posts showing pictures of the slim rear wing.

RIC was driving with older wing.

The new frontwing created to much df. Car was extremely pointy at the front and loose at the rear in FP1 as they tested it.

Very dependable source indeed.

German AutoBild claims that Red Bull might use some sort of flexible Diffusor. (source)

TV-Footage showed the rear seemingly moving horizontally and vertically. The head of a team told ABMS: "The diffusor is basically waving. But it doesn't have to be illegal."

I gotta admit that the fact that they're not naming the person who supposedly said that, nor the team this person works for, doesn't make the claim sound really serious; but does anyone here happen to know what footage the article refers to? I haven't found anything so far.

Can't see how it would help anyway, last thing you'd want is the diffuser bending down.

Anyone has a .gif of it happening?

The "flexing" I'm thinking of is the rear suspension compressing with speed, which is a way to reduce drag.

Ferrari has diffuser issues, asks photographer to inspect Red Bull', 2nd tier media picks it up as headline making news. Good old F1.

Non story.
