Red Bull RB9 Renault

[... However, your article does appear to have established is the idea of the splitter plate being the (only) 3rd spring is probably incorrect. So thanks for that.

I was a little hasty in my comment. If my supposition is correct, then a broken stay will increase friction at higher speeds, and possibly lead to plank wear issues, but the splitter plate will still support the front axle, I think.

They have different engine cover (terminal vent)

Were RBs still running different wings during fp2? Webber seemed faster in S2, while seb was faster in S3.

Nice optical illusion, the whole floor looks bent.

The Red Bull with wheels treated with Polysil.

Not a good comparison as they are all at different sections of track.

Vettel definitely had hot both front rims over all the lap as opposed to Alonso and Hamilton.

Different parts of the circuit ?

I'm pretty much sure that it was glowing like that for the whole lap for Vettel. Some sort of tyre warming trick is going on there..

Heat sink on rims makes sense being Pirelli have brought the most conservative choices possible. COTA track surface improved immensely from last year where the asphalt barely cured before race weekend. Soft and medium would've brought a 2-3 stop race but hindsight is 20-20

Is there a possibility red bull have "qualifying rims" and then go traditional style rim after first stop?

Funny how people try to draw 1:1 conclusions from differently adjusted heat cameras.
