Red Bull RB22

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.

I wonder if this 'revised' endplate vane is every going to see the light of day again, it was used for a few laps in Monza and ditched before they reverted to the old front wing. Probably a nice chunk of budget wasted.

They brought out the aero rake in FP1 with Iwasa in the car, testing stuff for next season's philosophy I'd imagine, that small diveplane was never going to generate the same amount of front end load as the current iteration, they might have gotten more downstream load from the floor as their document suggests but it came at the expense of the front. Then they gave Max a few laps for his feedback which was overwhelmingly negative (no front end) :lol:

We'll see if they try it again this weekend.

They used the new diveplane in Italy. And are running it in Madring too.

Here's Italy



Madring


Older spec for comparison...


In my view redbull wants more rear downforce so they can run similar rake as Mclaren, currently RB22 is the only car in top 5 running pretty flat.
I learn from the mistakes of people who take my advice...

Good catch, I'd got the front wing complaints mixed up then, new one definitely seems better, this is the most stable the car has been all season, Liam doing well is also a sign.

Blimey. Those are some dense, finely made VGs
