Renault Sport F1 R.S. 18

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.

There won't be any cascades, and the wing will be wider, but that doesn't mean they'll be able to totally get rid of the outwash design. The Y250 will still be there. Now a new vortex appears in the mid section where black meets yellow?
yes but the tunnel near the endplate, and endplate winglets plus vertical winglets would be gone and that will significantly reduce outwash. OFC main generator would then be Y250

Note how far inboard the adjustable section of the new front wing is. There are at least 24 little metallic wing supports.

Sometime in 2019... "No, Charlie. These are not for outwash. Promise."

Would be funny if that was what really happened and the end they figured out that actually works. :D

The fourth 'exhaust' pipe. This is the crankcase vent?
