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.

This is what happened to RB14 X-wing in week 1:

The mounting at the front of the X-wing where it connects to the bargeboard assembly simply broke.
Do you know, when this photo has been taken?
It's a screenshot of the Youtube video I posted today in this thread. Must have been Tuesday February 27.

More like Williams, as it also connects to the bargeboards.

Natural evolution continues at Red Bull. RB14 is a real looker! However, there is no way we can call it a low-drag car. Even since roll out, but now definitely not.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Really wish we had more angles of this update. It's interesting that it looks like the new wings on their bargeboards aren't connected to their chassis like similar wings on the Mercedes and Williams. I wonder if it's an actual update or just a compromise to maintain the rigidity of the sidepod deflectors.

Yes I was thinking the same thing (about the chassis connection) but thought that it might compromise the air flow into the radiator too much. As it stands it's just another panel helping air go around the sidepod tidily.

Air going into radiator is above this whole area, and closer to the tub as you said.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Soon a crane will be required to put the driver into the car.
