RB20 speculation

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

this might be Rb19. I'm unsure.

Think they'd shoot themselves in the foot and boldly go where W14 wanted to go? :mrgreen:
I could be wrong about that. These photos are not the best. I've seen clearer images of the loch ness monster.
Seriously though, they wouldn't do that. It goes against everything they were trying to do last year and everything that the other launches have shown us. Likely what you are seeing is just the lower lip being so high that it looks more like a roof than a floor for the intake.
I think this is the correct assessment.

The medium downforce wing now has the floating rear flap.

The sidepod inlet looks inverter. Like overbite instead of underbite.

So from the images:

1. Bigger undercut
2. Even slimmer radiator inlets like Aston Martin
3. Big bulges on the engine cover like Mercedes W14??

Was the nose always as far forward as the bottom front flap? Looks like the rear cooling outlets have been enlarged and moved up, possibly to make way for a slide?

I believe there is a waterslide like AMR24 and the nose is now attached to the first element whereas rb19 has it attached to second element.

4. Nose tip now attaches to all elements of the FW.
5. New RW with detached upper element.
6. Water slides?

Slightly better resolution. Nice vortex coming from the floor edge.

You can clearly see the different approach with the higher and more pronounced cannon outlet, similar to w14.

RB will be hoping that is where the similarities end. The others, not so much.

This is the worst possible scenario for RB. Not only is this leaked, the floor vortex can be easily studied here. LOL
