HRT F112 Cosworth

[PlatinumZealot]

Its a strange one, side on it looks stepped, front on it looks smooth, guess it the colour of the car maybe?

New Picture from Facebook of Jose Gallego Seguro who is Lead Designer Engineer:



And he responded in regards to the FW question:

Jose Gallego Segura aero upgrates to follow during the season,....also a new front wing. Trying to combine/find the best posible/working aero packaging. The current FW are very powerful , even it showing quiet simple shaped. Redesigned the Rear end (issue area at F111) will realize a better aero balance.etc,etc.

From that angle the paint scheme stimulates an impression of a bull in my mind. I can't really explain.. can anybody else see it?

Who designed the paint scheme?

New photo from our Engineer friend on Facebook.

The 2 areas I am interested in is that all these photos aren't showing the Nose forward..

Also around the exhaust area, different bodywork to the shakedown bodywork (it was ill fitting) so this looks like the final bodywork.

Do they have two sidepod inlets? From that last photo it looks like so.

[cbbcisace]

Im not sure, i was thinking a bit of body work is missing?

[Intego]

I'm still shocked they want to drive with this front wing. That's so 80's
Can't they just copy Red Bull's one as everyone did ...

[cbbcisace]

HRT may use that FW at Australia but there is another FW in production..

[Intego]

I don't see much dowforce coming coming from that front wing. So is it safe to say the car is well balanced? Sorry ...

[cbbcisace]

come on this isn't a flame thread, please take it somewhere else please

The ones in these late pictures are definitely smaller.

It may be the angle of the picture, but, shape looks tighter. Also the pieces are different between the two pictures posted on facebook, the first one seems to have the same part as the shakedown car, the second one is different, with extended heat protection.
I hope they are developing a better front wing.... can't wait to see the pictures from Melbourne.

Yea no, flaps on the front wing, would be alarming if they had to cut them off because of the lack of rear DF.
