Still rough but more sophisticated sound. Difference between the older engine in the STR14 and the AT02 noticable on downshifts

Honda engine sound different from last year
Thank you!....and well spotted
Pretty interesting, at 0:36 the first car that shifts down is the str14 and then at02. New honda sounds noticeably louderflexbrah wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 02:54https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZrgseolR2I

More loud could also mean different type of mic used, different placement, post editing... Reading a bit too much into a very “subjective” (sounds more loud) analysis.etusch wrote:can we say that more loud means more diesel like working in the combustion area ?
At least in the clip posted it was from the same microphone in the same shot, at the same distance. Somewhat more controlled experiment at least.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 16:42More loud could also mean different type of mic used, different placement, post editing...

Sorry mate, both of these are the RB15, the exhaust and wastegate layout give it away as well as the rear wing endplate, the only footage you see of the 16b is the footage of Checo driving and his helmet, you can tell by the mirror mounts
Correct. Red Bull didn't release a single media photo from it's test/filming day of the RB16B. They certainly wouldn't show video of the floor and rear like in the quoted video from N21BigSexyBeast wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 22:02Sorry mate, both of these are the RB15, the exhaust and wastegate layout give it away as well as the rear wing endplate, the only footage you see of the 16b is the footage of Checo driving and his helmet, you can tell by the mirror mounts
See to me, that's definitely the RB15 from 2:58-3:04 not the RB16B.N21 wrote: ↑25 Feb 2021, 13:49Hi all. Been reading threads on this forum for a while now, mainly relating to RBR and Honda. This is my first post because I want to share some insights from the Peter Windsor yt video on the rb16b filming day:
I am a forum noob so I don’t know how to share pictures / stills from the video. The video has led me to believe that Red Bull did in fact run the RB16B yesterday.
If you’re interested, take a look at the video and note my observations at the listed timestamps.
Video timestamps and findings:
2:27 - 2:30: clearly forward angled pushrod in the rear suspension. This is the RB15
2:53 - 2:54: again the visible pushrod of the RB15. Visible from the side, protruding well beyond the rear wheel.
2:58 - 3:00: this appears to be the RB16B with the inward sloped floor and the absence of the forward angled push rod
3:01 - 3:04: rear view of the RB16B. You can clearly see the pushrods angled inwards near the driveshafts. Much like the Mercedes W11 suspension from last year. The layout of this suspension was posted in this thread a couple of pages back. It appears to me that RBR are running a same sort of suspension as Merc.
What is also worth noting is that the press release photos of the RB16B do actually show the forward angled pushrods, which has led me to believe that the press release photos do not actually show the real RB16B.
I don’t claim to know anything, just wanted to share my observations
