RacingNews365’s technical analyst Paolo Filisetti casts his eye over what Red Bull has done with its latest upgrade, delivered at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Red Bull Racing’s upgrade for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix marks the final phase of a three-part intervention to the RB21, initiated in Saudi Arabia.
The modifications for Imola include changes to the radiator inlets in the sidepods, with the major upgrade being the complete re-profiling of the engine cover, resulting in a slimmer design.
The new design creates a more cohesive look, smoothly blending the lower part with the large curvature of the chassis above the sidepods.
These upgrades effectively conclude the development process started in Jeddah, focusing on reprofiling and redesigning the internal packaging of the radiators.
Notable adjustments have been made to the sidepod inlets, with vertical inlets showing increased sections in both the lower and upper parts of the slits, alongside a greater cross-sectional area.
The main objective of these upgrades is to reprofile the engine cover to enhance downforce production from the car’s body, thus reducing the reliance on larger wings for aerodynamic performance.
