I thought one rumor from last night was that RBR had shaved off 7-10kg off the car since the last test in Bahrain, then someone started saying they were 20kg overweight here before so now they are 10kg. It does feel like the numbers are bouncing around on RBR weight.Airshifter wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 01:12Does anyone have any actual evidence of this or is it just continued rumor/speculation? I keep seeing a lot of the latter but no numbers.....
There are a couple of strange looking scoops in there, next to the chassis. They look like air inlets?

They are pushing the limits for sure. Normally the radiator is tilted forward in the sidepods, with the sidepod having reasonable volume for other equipment and for hot air to flow around and out.
This design is as if all the equipment was crammed together then they scalloped that volume that's normally before the radiators.
Fastest car on the grid for sure, based on the floor, the floor vortex generator end plates, the sidepod wing, the undercut, the beam wing, the diffuser, the rear brake ducts... But most reliable and driveable? I think that is the bigger mystery with this machine.
The Mercedes car appears more conservative, but it has equally small sidepods, but most of all the design seems more robust and it just appears to be less aero sensitive.
This indeed is a very extreme and precise design. Nothing was spared. Even the front wheel hub and pull rods are extremely clean and light and low drag.
I suspect it might have overheated when the tank was no longer full of fuel to cool it.NtsParadize wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 19:33According to Red Bull it could be a fuel pump issue on both cars. Interesting since the fuel pump is now an FIA standard part.

Wonder if there will be other pump failures on other cars. Wasnt Charles saying he had issues on last lap?

Wonder if the FIA will step in and sort issues with pumps.AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 19:46I suspect it might have overheated when the tank was no longer full of fuel to cool it.NtsParadize wrote: ↑20 Mar 2022, 19:33According to Red Bull it could be a fuel pump issue on both cars.
