have you noticed how hardly anyone is talking about this? we are looking good for next year. are people that stupid to not realise how heavily mccheats and red fools are relying on their precious EBD?

keeping feet on ground. Not being stupid, it long way before testing and season starts. Plenty of time for engineers to get around this. But, im liking fact that Rory is back helping and Pat Fry and the team going to go full out attack on our next challenger. No more conservative.

RBR (Newey&Co) have exploited and and built on the EBD design for past coule years, that is why they sooooo far ahead for us and rest teams in this aera.

Looking at the few photo's of the rb, underneath..almost looks as if they somehow figured a form of ground fx..a design that suks the car to the ground.

Not sure on exactly where the exhaust will exit. I've seen drawings on Scarb's site showing exhausts exiting at the end of the rear wing. We will have to wait and see.

Nice to hear Newey talking up the RB8. Last time I remember him talking up a car for the next year was when he said something like - we've made steps forward on our current car - He was being quoted in a BBC report on how good the MP4-19 was going to be.
