I'm still waiting for RB to make the zero pod design work

I think this is the closest we will get. Redbull just made the intakes like that to make the sidepod entirely shaped for aerodynamic purposes. Mercedes did it to remove the sidepod entirely. Very different concepts and goals.

​@@alecmillea4539 No, they did it purely for airflow. The sidepods inlet is hidden away under the overbite.

@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks You’re right that there is speculation that there is another part of the radiator inlets under the top sidepod lip. However there has been no confirmation of that yet. I also don’t know what you mean by them doing it purely for “airflow”. If you mean aerodynamic effiecency of the flow around the sidepods you are just agreeing with my previous comment. If you mean better airflow into the radiator inlets then you are just wrong. It is a less efficient way of cooling as a result of the fact that the intake is injesting the boundary layer running down the side of the car. This is proven by the fact that they need more total inlet area than they did with the inlets on top of the sidepods. It’s only rational that the sidepods shape change is for improved airflow around the sidepods as the cooling solution is objectively worse.

I was waiting for your rb video whole night 😂

3:29 thank you for mentioning the opening! If you look closely theres a second outlet, right below the "HONDA". this has got to be emitting clean air right? Why would they exhaust hot air at the beam wing

Very interesting what they've let us see. Looking forward to seeing what they haven't.

Best F1 car design coverage on youtube… hands down!

Can`t wait for testing next week.

An interesting car. Exited for the wintertests!

Merc and redbull have a similar inlet design and aggressive under body side pods Ferrari and Aston have made the lip

My favourite car from all the launches. Really like the bits they showed and ones that are anticipated. Plus the livery is now borderline legendary.

I think it's the best looking car this year

Adrian Newey wants to show Mercedes that their concepts can work - when he is doing it. :😀

It's not a Mercedes concept, watch the video for fs.

Very bold IMO.

Interesting, The Race had those vertical inlets as the radiator inlets. I think I find your explanation more likely, with the inlets being under the pod front edge.

They're way too small for that. If you go look at the W13, let alone the W14, they are much much bigger. It's impossible for that to be the only radiator cooling inlet.

I love how everyone is copying RB's sidepods from last year and now RB is doing something different again.

Maybe because sidepods don't make the difference. What's making the difference lies below the car.

@@kristoffer3000 I was just joking. Which seems to have flown over your head but okay. I wonder how this ages, come race 4 with the new reports that are coming through.

I took the course and I’m now Enstone’s deputy chief aerodynamicist. I must give partial thanks to Laurent Rossi too. He really helped free up some space…

Hey B, do you think the F1 cars of the future will have shark skin? Or is it against the regulations?

Was watching the "spy video" of RB20 on filming day and remembered the interesting mention of excessive side outwash from the RB19. Its seems as though RB20 has lesser side outwash perhaps its probably in anticipation of a clamp down of outwash/dirty air. But as you mention all are hearsay until pre-season testing.

Amazing

Redbull Beetleback. Looks like a old vw beetje on the rearsite

It does look like a step forward. More work has been done compared to other cars . Merc seems to be the only contender .

Because of their front wing? I think not. McLaren will be fastest after Red Bull. At least going off last season's momentum and their confidence. I think Mercedes, Ferrari and Aston will be somewhere between 3-5th fastest. Really in the end, it depends on who's done the best job with the underbody but I don't expect anyone to have suddenly found legs on Red Bull tbh.

​@@wiktorturo2417 Looks more like an evolution of the AMR23. I imagine Res Bull have already looked at that and decided it wasn't quick enough.

With merc early last year sidepod, they could have come up with the same solution as shown by Redbull with their sidepod design.

Where did your Ferrari video go?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just think Adrian Newey (and the team he has formed) are the best, they had so much time towards the end of last season, they must be way ahead of everyone. And they would deserve it. Merceds and Ferrari can try to get them but once ahead RB has a big advantage and until max caught Michael and Lewis I’m ok with that. Somehow I hope nobody ever gets to 8 titles just for Michael’s sake.

Michael doesn't deserve that throne, he was a dirty cheater to his core. A fantastic racer for sure but that doesn't take away how much of a cheater he was.

They are showing horizontal inlets on their 3D model on the website, like a shark's mouth, but who knows what's real or not with this car.

I 'm quited confidence...red bull and honda will remained and maintains it's record holder ...as stunning ...most performance car throughout the year...😅😅

Turbulent boundary layer air is good for cooling I believe. That thing is going to hoover itself onto the track and crush yet again.

@cademckee7276

Boundary layer air isn’t good for cooling because it’s moving slowly and thus means you get less air and less heat exchange.

@davidaugustofc2574

​​​@@cademckee7276 That's a misconception of yours, turbulent boundary layers are not ideal, but most radiators still are more efficient with slower moving, higher pressure, air, and the entire purpose of radiator duct inlet design is to slow down the incoming airflow. I suggest you watch the Fast and the Nerdy "How to design your car's radiator ducting" and read Willem Toet's (former F1 designer) article about Air Ducts, before spreading misinformation.

"Turbulent boundary layers are often preferred in heat exchanger and other engineering applications because they provide more efficient heat transfer." Quote from Conflux Engineering EV engineering site. I have known this for decades. I have built, raced and flown many things. Fast laminar flow just rips on by with lots of drag and poor heat exchange.@@cademckee7276

As mentioned elsewhere, we need to consider that these are just livery launches. The most important aspect is that the valiant Perez may well outlive Marko and Horner at RB...

That nose doesn’t look legitimate to me… if Adrian Newey can extend the nose like that, I think he’d use a more sophisticated design. Also… Where’s the nose duct???

This launch feels like a troll. How fitting in 2024

I don't know if he's genuinely trolling, but at this point I refuse to believe that: - we won't see again the fishtanks with the '26 regulations, claimed by many to be inwash centered; - the concept shown by AM at the start of '22 is totally invalid, and in Newey's hands it could turn out competitive.
