About RB front wing

[Daryesh]

I've been having a look to a site with some photos, and my thought: looking the photo 17th the B letter on the front wing as you can see has a different approach in RB car than the other cars. I mean, from my understanding (of course sb with more knowledge can explain if this is true or not) moves the air to the edges of the wing, this makes that the air push very hard on the edges and if the base of the front wing is sufficient rigid, then it makes that the whole nose will descend to the asphalt (and passes FIA tests). This is also why on the photo 24th the front part of the RB car is lower than the F150º.

Advice is required.

Why don't ferrari just copies RB front wing ? Problem solved. Im sure we can do an even better job !

Because the front wing is probably the most important piece of aero on the car, it's the first the air hits and so you can't just 'copy the wing'. It has to work with the rest of the car.

about RB,

these guys are now trying to say that the engine maps are actually there to help reliability. surely they do the opposite?

sad thing is that FIA will probably believe them...

Thanks for that info, do you think Ferrari can get their car sorted and does anyone knows if they are currenly working on new updates ?

so if the front shocks are weaker and the accented down-forces on the front wing cause the front of the car to lower to the ground?

Note Pic 28 and 31. RB DEFINITELY has a movable wing. I am not a engineer, but I put my money on the nose cone pillars, or, the nose bolds with the chassis. I strongly believe it's not the wing per se, but the nose as a whole.

Much appreciated for the link !

Good pic the RB car looks for aero than ours just by looking at it.. The angles are more agresive and better incorporated in the overall design...

i think it a mixture of the rear end rake(angle) of that red bull car's suspention that makes that wing flex but also it's got to be about the materials of which is made also i think others will not know for sure until one of red bull engeneirs switches to another team
also i dont understand why our's wing has such a fat and wide porter of the wing if you compare it whit redbulls it's hard to image it flex
