Red Bull RB13 TAG Heuer

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.

Not only did they not add any wings or flicks like the W08, but they took the sidepod turning vanes away..
If you look very closely, you'll notice they also took the nose cone away :lol: .

They are going to be there once the car is fully assembled. They are packaged separately for transport.
My apologies, the mount points are different to testing though (further inboard)
Meaning there are changes in that area as others already have suggested. We'll see them tomorrow.

Significantly different turning vanes that look like wings above the side pod entry, and new super high bargeboards:

it looks like those huge 'flaps' on top of the sidepods wobble a lot

Looks as though they are meant to guide the impact gun onto the captive nut.

Perhaps this relates to their low-drag or efficiency ethos. Four big flat faced spokes perhaps churn through the air more easily. Wonder if they'll get it down to three spokes, or two, or... The trend inversely proportional to the number of elements in Merc's T-wing through this season. :)

From Morteza's post, notice the rear wheel:

Is that just a black colored band inside the wheel or something more?
