I cannot find a good picture of the back of the STR but they both hove the large vent in the middle of the engine cover.



Some other teams have a vent that is in the center of the engine cover, but the STR and RBR look the exact same.

i noticed that Ferrari has a small looking hole in the rear, but what are they? i mean what is their function?

The VR wing coming off had to be pretty eye opening for them. On another topic did you guys noticed that Nelson piquet came in 6th in the truck race. I thought he was going to get slammed in the wall in no time.

Newey already ragged on thier CFD shit, but then again he's one of the greatest car designers of all time so I guess he can.

...and he draws up his cars on a drafting board.

I watched the entire truck series race and Piquet jr. was pretty impressive for a rookie.

Vent for the engine, but most likely a way around the rules to help the diffuser.

I like McMercs engine vent that runs to the rear wing.... thats has to have something to with the diffuser.

Wow they are far more different than I thought. From the front they are fairly similar, but from the rear, the defuser, exhaust, and general shape of the engine cover is completely different. I wonder if the STR uses the same pullrod suspension as the RBR.

I'm not into F1 at all, but I stumbled upon some pretty sweet news regarding the upcoming season. I did a search and it looks like no one has mentioned it on the forum.. until now!

Satosan to Indy car. He's pretty fearless and that should be interesting on the ovals.

I still wish Sato was in F1, maybe someone will pick him up next year if he does well in Indy.
