Aston Martin Red Bull Racing TAG Heuer RB14

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.

It reminds me a lot about the side pods from the RB7:

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

That blade on top of the slot looks like double slots from some angles...

Sidepods look unreal. Its like they skipped some components when building the car.

So they are running without the final piece of the barge boards, the pice that sits right next to the sidepod opening.
The piece which was held in place with that support they photoshopped out of their pictures. So they are still very secret about that area

I don't think they are being secretive, earlier this morning (see pics a bit more up) they had the whole package on.

I think they just want confirmation from the driver (Ricci) if indeed the car feels less planted without the flow conditioners in place (as they cost drag, and if Ricci feels fine without them maybe an alternative solution can also be found). Just testing I guess.
