do you know that, can they use 3d printed radiators for this season?Cassius wrote: ↑20 Jul 2023, 11:34Or they were conservative with the inlet.organic wrote: ↑20 Jul 2023, 11:27Will they open more louvers/engine cover to compensate?
They decreased the size of the airbox inlet for the RB19 relative to the RB18 considerably, and now downsizing also the sidepod inlet relative to last year (I would assume, just looking at it). It is very aggressive
Under impression that can compensate for a change at inlet side easily with larger outlet.
Could be the Honda engine can run at higher temperatures now and/or they have made their radiators more efficient.
The crash structure is further back on the RB19 than the intake:
Late afternoon here in Hungary and Red Bull still haven't put on the new fairing to go with the changes to the cooling intake.
I wonder what they are hiding?

The engine cover looks way different no? Also a hint of some funky geometry starting at the top of the sidepod, but can't really tell.organic wrote: ↑20 Jul 2023, 17:32Me neither, but perhaps not the best angle to be stunned? Can't really tell what the geometry is doing on top / towards the rear of the undercut and how it forms a ramp
To me it looks like there's a hint of a waterslide and the engine cover might be a lot less tightly hugging than before.
Yes perhaps the engine cover is very funky indeedCs98 wrote: ↑20 Jul 2023, 17:34The engine cover looks way different no?
