Red Bull hasn't played any mind games. All whispers are from outside sources. It's not like Red Bull is known for bragging about development or lying about performance, they leave those sorts of things to Mclaren.Just_a_fan wrote:I would guess it's RedBull pulling their usual mind games to try to put off the opposition. If they had found massive downforce they would keep it very quiet. They'd just turn up at the first test (or even leave it to the first race) and blow everyone away.
Even Williams sources have been making noises about amazing aero gains being made on a frequent basis.Just_a_fan wrote:I would guess it's RedBull pulling their usual mind games to try to put off the opposition.

Massive Aero gains compared to this year, as far as i know. It doesn't necessarily mean massive gains compared to other teamsdjos wrote:Even Williams sources have been making noises about amazing aero gains being made on a frequent basis.Just_a_fan wrote:I would guess it's RedBull pulling their usual mind games to try to put off the opposition.

That'd be awsome but i'm not sure the article refers to the gap between lap times of different teams but rather the gap between lap times now, the start of 2017, and the end of 2017 in genereal?ME4ME wrote: However more recently Pirelli have stated that 2017 predictions are converging towards a much smaller range of laptimes:

suit their aerodynamic philosophy with their love for super-large FWs (Newey absolutely wanted the FW to be as large as possible and refused any narrowing) and their raky car which will continue to generate a lot of DF at the front and the centre too and might be more naturally 'balanced' than many other cars.

I was also wondering about a source on the claim about Newsy.Juzh wrote:Source on this?Blackout wrote: -and the new rules should somehow http://www.rf1-forum.com/phpBB3/images/ ... histle.gif suit their aerodynamic philosophy with their love for super-large FWs (Newey absolutely wanted the FW to be as large as possible and refused any narrowing)
It would make sense though, as red bull is the only team left not to fully commit to the aggressive outwash FW design. They tried it a few times this season but it quickly disapeared off the car. Having a wider FW would make their job easier in that area as less wake management FW elements would be required for the same effect (aka similar to what they're already doing).

It's there. As a matter of fact, this is one of the few mockups who feature itDiogoBrand wrote:Just forgot the beam wing there.lio007 wrote:2017 mockup by @seanbulldesign
