Hm...I don't know, either something went really wrong today with the RB16B or they just don't want to show something.
It's quite strange to have not a single footage of todays shakedown.
AT were spotted with the new car so guess the engine is good,
Especially strange since we did get “spy” shots of them running the RB15. Let’s hope Honda didn’t make a huge mistake by rushing this new engine.
Pretty sure this is actually RB15 with 2021 livery. Advance to 0:35 in the video, and you see the wastegates at the location where it was for RB15. It probably isn't the RB16b in the launch video. The 2021 regulations no longer require a wastegate as well so it will be interesting if some PU manufacturers actually have gone this route...wogx wrote: ↑23 Feb 2021, 17:32https://www.wykop.pl/cdn/c3201142/comme ...

No, they didn't. That was just a rumor. Find the pictures and you will see.
I completely agree! In particular, in the second picture, there should be a small horizontal wing just below the air scoop, but there's no trace of it. They might have had some problems, I hope they're not related to the engine (even though it is regularly running on the AT02, so it's unlikely that just Red Bull is having problems).ispano6 wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021, 20:45Pretty sure this is actually RB15 with 2021 livery.

Not a single frame with the RB16B in it. Are they hiding something or just creating hype?
Somewhat curious that Alfa did it's best to have the cape as far forward as possible while RBR is pushing it backwards.
Or are they? The alpha tauri render nose was also quite different than the actual car. As long as the crash structure is not altered I think you can make alterations to the nosecone token free. Or am I mistaken?
I'm sorry, it wasn't clear enough, Alfa Romeo not Alpha Tauri.Sieper wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 00:17Or are they? The alpha tauri render nose was also quite different than the actual car.
