A hi-res picture on a plain white background would've sufficed. Car looks typical, besides some funky vent at the stepped nose.

Well, this means that the STR launch (in 4.5 hours) should be an equally lame little snippet of film.

Gee, are they just being super careful & playing their cards close to their chest or what?
Seriously, animated porn has better rendering & details than the drawings that RBR are 'letting out'.
Disappointed with their effort.

from Race Car Engineering....
www.racingbulls.net
Quote:Red Bull’s RB8 immediately caught the eye in the paddock with a large nose mounted duct. It is though to feed air from the hump on the front of the chassis forward through the nose structure and down to the front wing – similar to a system used on the Mercedes W02 in 2011. It is thought that this approach increases front downforce but little is known about it. Sauber is also thought to have a similar design for its new C31, openly admitting that they have ‘a lot of developments in this area’.
The layout is legal as it is not driver operated so does not constitute a moveable aerodynamic device.
