Man, that really is a tiny opening...

Res Bull is doing what Red Bull is best at. Being bold, being risk takers and being radical. They could lay back and iterate further on the RB19. But no it's just not in their DNA.

Let's see if it is screaming fast as it looks like. But if you are a RB fan or not, you have to respect their bravery for doing something different again.

It looks like the 'stole' both the Merc nopod and the Ferrari scallop design and then smashed them together in some unholy alliance. I really want to see what the insides look like (with the sidepod body off)

Probably mostly nothing, the engines are really compact

Is that vertical slit also an opening? So two air entry points?

Three! there are two big openings on the shoulders, behind the halo, to the sides of the pilot's head.

Look at these chunky boys!

Those boys are going to eat so many visor strips. Wouldn't be surprised if the red bulls use a in cockpit bin instead

Maybe it is the cockpit bin.

Oooh, good find. I had not seen those openings yet. I was genuinely kind of worried that the slits on the picture of Albert Fabrega were the only intakes...

Adrian Newey has had enough of the subtlety of the coanda effect and instead, raw dogging air directly to the diffuser

The top part looks like an open shark mouth (well, half of it).

Did newey just turn the camera pod into an aerodynamic feature using the oversized bolsters?
