Red Bull RB21

[the EDGE]

Classic Red Bull!

As if they’ll lose all the performance in the world by unveiling their car one day earlier…

No car tomorrow is identical to the published renders.

And why? Simple, all teams are looking for everything on other cars and if revealing your car 1 day later means an update from a rival team later in the season comes 1 day later (and maybe therefore 1 raceweekend later) that's an easy gain. This sport is about maximazing absolutely everything incl this.

Yes, Red Bull are being so secretive that they decided to hold their filming day in front of the other 9 team

Can't see ****, besides the obvious that the basic concept is similar.

Looks like the sharkfin might be bigger and we can see the rear shape of the sidepod ramp is quite different to the rb20. It tapers down earlier perhaps suggesting less worries about yaw sensitivity

Obviously not the best images to go off but is it just me or does it look like the sidepod ends really early?

Looks like it has a much deeper water slide than the RB20.

Looks very similar to RB20. Maybe they are doing a McLaren 2024 and starting with a very similar car to the previous year.

Or perhaps more likely, they were happy with the aerodynamic shape of the RB20 and have focused on refining the wings, floor, and suspension.

Front wing looks more loaded on the mid span, airbox intake looks quite squared off, front suspension upper rear arm closer to floor leading edge than rb20

Sidepods so far look very close to rb20's

Looks like last element on the front wing isn't attached

I think there's just a large camber discontinuity that generates strong reflections on the mid span but not at all on the outer portion. I doubt they've adopted the mercedes wire wing trick (but applied to the outboard portion?) but maybe they did!



The nose has been even more elongated + has become pointy

[marcel171281]

There is something very interesting about that outboard section of the front wing!

I agree with Organic, I think it's just angles, light reflections, and poor image quality. We'll see soon...

Are we being gaslit? It looks like the rb20

lol. very underwhelming, but I guess the real work is on the floor, suspension, and bla bla bla.

we'll see on track.
