Red Bull has introduced some interesting updates to its RB19 in Baku in order to extract more performance from an already fast F1 car. Here's a look at the changes:
The modifications centre around the car's sidepods, with the shape of the inlet and underbite corrected in order to improve flow to the radiators, coolers and ancillaries housed within. The re-shaping will obviously have a bearing on the external flow stream too.
In order to fully complement this handshake, the geometry of the floor's edge and the aerodynamic furniture that is mounted upon it have also been subtly re-crafted to increase their performance too. It's likely it will use a similar set-up to the one used in Australia, in fact, with its lower downforce rear wing option paired with the single-element lower beam wing.Mercedes also has a package of parts at its disposal in Azerbaijan, as it looks to make up ground on those ahead of it.
The tip section has been an area where Mercedes has already focused its attention throughout the course of these new regulations, with the team designing its endplate in such a way that the section can be changed quickly without needing to completely dismantle the wing.
