What we learned about Red Bull’s Suzuka F1 upgrades

The focus on Red Bull’s aggressive sidepod solution ramped up at Formula 1’s Japanese Grand Prix as the team revealed some intriguing changes to its cooling layout.

While the revisions did not include any changes to its aggressive sidepod solution, which is a step above what any of its rivals have done so far, there was a notable tweak to the arrangements surrounding the cockpit.

Red Bull has already raised eyebrows this year by having inlets in the channel behind the cockpit – with the squad having copied the high gulleys that Mercedes had utilised in recent years.

But for the Japanese GP, an extra inlet has appeared much further forward – as is shown with the white arrows in the image below.
