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.

The potential overbite reminds me of those early models FIA made and shared. I think most of those had stylized overbites. Maybe RB are going the WEC route and stylizing for fun :lol: =D> :mrgreen:

Yup.. still an underbite. Not sure why everyone was assuming overbite when you can’t even see any opening to suggest that was the case.
You completely misunderstood the area I'm talking about. It's an overbite, the rectangular area is under the wing in the picture I posted. #-o
It’s an underbite until proven otherwise.. people saying overbite are imagining things that don’t exist in the images.
The picture of you posted with arrows pointing at nothing is rather imaginative too. Look, I also thought it was an underbite but as better pictures have emerged it's obvious there is no intake on the top of that sidepod.

Shakedown is usually where you find out if it’s going well or it has gone terribly wrong. I’m surprised that there are no leaks yet.

I agree with this, and after seeing at the W15 today, the inlet might be similar in shape:

It rained, was damp, I do not think you can find out really much under those circumstances.

There were no leaks after the shakedown last two years they've done it, and people were stuck speculating on imaginary mid-wings. Its a tradition now. :D

100% Overbite, clearest pictures I have found so far. Open them in a new tab and you can zoom in.

Even in the rain the driver knows if it’s a dog.

The offical (generic) quotes by Max and Checo on how they experienced the shakedown will probably appear after the official launch. Normally the shakedown is after the launch.

From these, the inlet looks like a shark's mouth.

Thanks... it might be ugly if, in the end, that won't be the real intake concept 8)
