Even if it was completely aero neutral infree stream air if you put an exhaust flow directly under it, it stops being neutral. A wing generates lift by having one side longer than the other, but this is to force the air stream to flow at different speeds . If you cause the airflow to artificially flow at different speeds, it doesn't matter what shape the object is, lift is still created.ringo wrote:You sure the rules say that?hardingfv32 wrote:The control arm is aero neutral per the rules.

The rules say no angle of attach greater than 5 degrees, and section of arm must be symeterical about the major axis.
That doesn't really declare aero neutrality.

maybe the new chassis will be to do with this?
What chassis number have they been running so far, and what will the new chassis number be?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:Red Bull will have a new chassis & exhaust tomorrow at Barcelona.
Not sure mate. Here is the interview with Marko where he says they're changing chassis's & all teams reluctantly agreed. He implies new exhaust too. Also mentions the letterbox on the nose.ESPImperium wrote:What chassis number have they been running so far, and what will the new chassis number be?Crucial_Xtreme wrote:Red Bull will have a new chassis & exhaust tomorrow at Barcelona.
Lol you obviously like dull seasons with dominance of 1 person isnt it obvious that most cars are gonna bring full updatesfor the next 2 days what should should be inferesting is the time posted by rb and macca when they finally decide to put there foot down and then we can have the comments of domination.Chuckjr wrote:Why do I get the feeling that Newey is going to have the last laugh for Macca's copying his blown diffuser last year? This new chassis and exhaust they are mentioning sounds like the death knell for all other teams in the paddock.
I'll never forget his statement last year after beginning work on the 2012 car stating the RB8 would "dazzle and amaze" the F1 world. I get the feeling the Red Bull hammer is about to fall. Fasten your seatbelts.
