Red Bull RB22

[Farnborough]

Any idea what this component is that's circled? Looks detached from the usual heave spring and anti-roll bar. Just curious.

Looks like a fore-hinged swing arm (with vertical 'play limiter' towers on either side) of some sort that is weight-bearing.. One of the engine/gearbox mounts ?

Its more likely the anti roll bar assembly, would have links down to the torsion spring shafts on each side to provide that function.

Their cooler looks way bigger than Aston's!?

The difference between the left side and the right side doesn't make sense to me. One side appears to have two coolers and the other side has 1?

There is clearly no connection at the back like the scarbs drawing.

Looks like the cooler is double layered, sort of folded over, and the in- and outlet are on the same side.

Agreed. I believe it is this kind of design from a previous gen RBR car. It's like a "two stage" cooler. The air does two passes across the inlet air flow

It raises some questions about the induction system layout. The turbine and compressor have to be at the back, right? Exhaust seems to have a very steep angle down into the engine bay, so turbo seems very far down in the engine bay.



For comparison, the dive of the exhaust into the engine bay doesn't appear as steep on the Haas:

There seems to be a tetra-tria-(I dont know what to call it)-hedral shaped wedge where the floor merges into the diffuser

Hmm, is there also a trough that continues?

Hmm..didn't notice it before.
Rather than a trough, it seems to me that the 'wedge' I drew isn't really a wedge, but rather a funnel mouth which gradually merges into the top of the diffuser (at the location you have pointed out) via a thin channel - can help energize the flow in the coke bottle region.
The amount of detailing is sheer mind boggling - when one thinks 'I've seen so many pics and spotted almost all that an outsider can spot' , there is more and more to see.

Is that not the cutout where the crash structure sits?

Ahh... right. My bad, didn't even think about the crash structure.

To me it looks like a channel yes. I believe Ferrari used something similar in 2024 at their floor coke bottle. Presumably reenergises the boundary layer
