Adrian Newey is known for being the designer with the most world driver championships. and constructors in the history of Formula 1 with a total of 25, as long as those he created and in which he had participation are considered. Since the arrival of the Red Bull Racing team to the highest category of professional motorsports, it has been considered the spearhead of all champion cars and this year’s RB20s are also machines that continue to be and make a difference in Formula 1.
In the most recent race they used a novelty that can be and make a difference, one that they had already shown in the preseason. We are talking about a cooling system created by Newey which was used in the Japanese Grand Prix and the goal of the variant is to be able to separate the air inlets in order to carry it in a total of four sectors and improve the current.
This system will remain in the Austrian monopostos this weekend in China. There are a total of four levels for the cooling inlet: a vertical opening, a side entrance, an entrance behind the pilot’s headrest in the cockpit and the front part of the sidepods.
The improvements are evident in the car
The specialist Giorgio Piola is one who usually talks a lot about the technique and designs in Formula 1 and shows his work in the Motorsport environment and recently explained Newey’s new idea for Red Bull: “Red Bull introduced in Suzuka a new side capsule to reach the most efficient places in terms of cooling and aerodynamic efficiency. “As a result of this upgrade less output from the motor casing, which is beneficial for lower current.”
This variant managed to optimize aerodynamic efficiency which resulted in a very good performance of the car driven by the three-time world champion, Max Verstappen and his teammate, the Mexican Sergio ‘Checo’ Pérez in the Japanese Grand Prix of the current season.
What did the car improve specifically?
The first improvement that could be seen was the help to the operation of the engine and other elements that prevent the eventual overheating of the same, as well as allowing the increase in the aerodynamic load, that is, the accessories that the cars have which facilitated a better air intake, which had as a consequence the reduction of the resistance to advance and therefore They had better traction and more speed. In addition, the car’s ground effect performance was enhanced, a system that returned to Formula 1 after 40 years.
Alarms on for Red Bull
Red Bull Racing started the 2024 Formula 1 Season in style, but he suffered a tough defeat at the hands of the Spanish driver Carlos Sainz and his Ferrari car in the last Australian Grand Prix and the abandonment due to the rear brakes of Verstappen’s car, which caused the alarms to go off in the southern team.
Both Max and the Aztec driver ‘Checo’ Pérez will seek to return to performance optimal in the upcoming Chica Grand Prix, a race that will return to the Formula 1 calendar after 5 years away due to complications derived from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
