While much of the focus has been on the visuals – and especially the inlet arrangement – what is actually just as fascinating are the changes made internally to allow the shift in design in the first place.
If Red Bull had not worked hard to alter the cooling arrangements hidden beneath the bodywork, then there would have been no scope for the designers to make such radical alterations.
In this respect, there’s been a significant change to how the team has positioned the various radiators and coolers under the RB20’s bodywork when compared with its predecessor.
This encompasses the position of these ancillaries not only inside the sidepod bodywork but also under the engine cover too.
To understand this, it would be best to take a closer look at the RB19 first, aided by an illustration of its internal layout.
