those front susp arms
That car was tested on 17th Feb, earlier than Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren, Alpine...FWandE wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 11:39Yes, and it is ready for testing.....just. If the car had been ready earlier they would have had the same big launch as everyone else. Those launches are important for the corporate side of the race teams business.Dee wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 11:36Marko said the car will be ready for testing and the launch was just for the liveryFWandE wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 11:31
I was thinking just the same thing. There are some interesting ideas on the car, as with all the other cars, but so many people on this thread are already declaring it "the most radical", "most developed", "most exciting", "best engineered" car on the grid.
Will it be fast? Yes, almost certainly. RedBull have been a top team for a long time. How fast? Let us wait & see.
However, it is clear, to me at least, that the delay in releasing it was because they simply weren't quite ready. There is still plenty of time before the first race so I fully expect a tidy & competitive car by then.
If you look at the cut in the floor edge, you'll see the leading edge of the second piece is lower than the trailing edge of the front floor section. It's trying to prevent air going under the floor and in to the tunnels.west52keep64 wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 12:04My theory of what's happening here:

The "icecream sandwich" floor strake arrangement is being used to create a powerful vortex which then flows down towards the floor edge and enters the floor tunnels at the wing/inlet area.

Red: Lower suspension arms
Green: Steering arm
Yellow: Pull rod
Blue: Strange upper suspension arms??
Can anyone explain the blue ones?
They are the top "wishbone" although they're set up as separate links. Presumably done for airflow reasons.Varusi_12 wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 12:19https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202202 ... 7e439f.jpg
