Have there sneakily got some kind of automatic f-duct going on? If not that is that in the middle of the rear wing?

They can't have an F-duct this year, the rules ban hollow wing sections which allow 3 'elements' to be seen at the rear, and through which the stalling air passed.

I have always wondered whether they could use the exhaust to warm the tyres/brakes? The rear ones at any rate?

It's been done already. Can cause problems with overheating tyres as you can imagine.

Does the car still have the basketball shaped hole at the rear end?

Whats with the 'SharkFin'?

Piece of aero in the center of the rear wing, is that the new moveable part?

As a laugh they should have shot a few photo's with Vettel and Webber both standing on each end of the front wing. Cancel speculation already of a flexing wing.

/hears the other teams prepping the complaints now...

Martin Whitmarsh is writing emails and making phone calls as we speak

So the RB7 continues to use a similar blown back end

Won't be anywhere as good as the full blown diffuser though?

That's an answer only CS Nuts could answer accurately

**** all chance of that happening though, well.. unless he wants Mr Horner removing his man bits!

KERS?

 

[Duke]

Yep.

I guess redbull are running the renualt kers system rather than anything they have developed on their own? Kind of like McLaren with the Mercedes kers system
