Red Bull RB15

[Sevach]

Looks like an exercise to test outwash to me as well.

Tbh that's probably just a low downforce and high downforce wing. The concept of the wing isn't very different, just loading the outside of the wing a little bit less.

Jub. Low drag/low downforce version. Same concept.

Red Bull presently have two fine drivers and as such, for 2020, a little protection wouldn’t go amiss here. Albon will have been instructed to go out and test that fancy wing and look where it put him. Seems to me Red Bull are merely playing around with aerodynamical misleads trying to make sense of fezza and merc’s turn in, apex and exit speed. Well the answer to that little conundrum isn’t to be found in aero and as such Red Bull need to be just a tad more circumspect, surely they know what they’re competing against. I do, to the extent that at times I’m sorry I’m still alive. The fezza and merc turn in, apex and exit abilities are to be found mechanically within the differential, it’s as simple as that, before anyone gets inadvertently hurt due to some orchestrated low speed test.

Too little too late. All teams have tons of data with the inboard loading whilst Redbull went the other way. Dont expect wins in 2020.

Scarbs is the one that shared Fabrega's photos (below).

When at the beginning of the season Ferrari, Sauber, Racing Point and Toro Rosso were the only teams who came up with that front wing design, it was reported that Newey was telling that the concept RBR went for had more potential. Seems like he was wrong. But he also told that RBR‘s whole car concept would make it easy to change to the outwashing concept. So I don’t except them to be in a big disadvantageous position.

Back to your usual nagging? Anyway, STR has the inboard loading as well, plenty of data available there...

there is one exception that is, if they hire you who is a f1 car genius

Agreed. STR went the opposite way, so they have full data to compare. So I think it's not a big deal

The aero teams are independent, one in Bicester other in Milton Keynes. They cant share information, they dont use same resources unlike Haas and Ferrari who use same wind tunnel. If FIA gets wind of information sharing they will fine them.

You're too inocent if you think they don't share any data...

I thought along the same lines. They do not want to destroy Albon's confidence, so why give him the one-and-only-super-duper-next-big-thing wing to go and test in the wet with not even the best tyre on?

Smacks of mis-direction to me. Some valuable time wasted by the competition checking just in case it real was the plan to go down that road and follow something RBR thought may be worthwhile, even if they tested it and knew different.

Nice to see them experimenting with the new FW on Max' car in FP3. (although there seem to be some troubles with the pick up points)
