Red Bull Racing have arrived at
Melbourne on the back foot, problems during the pre-season tests
curtailed the mileage covered by the team, scuppering their
assessment of aerodynamic solutions.
The team therefore arrived in
Australia with several new components or with components that only
had limited pre-season testing. In the case of the latter of these
two is their Y100 Winglet / Monkey Seat which sits astride the crash
structure. Whilst other teams have placed their Y100 Winglet's above
the exhaust to try and influence it's upwash, Red Bull have placed
theirs below. This should have a marked effect on how the exhaust
flow influences the aerodynamic connection between the Diffuser below
it and the Rear Wing above it.
