    Red Bull airbrushed 2018 car photos?


    Red Bull has airbrushed a key detail out of photographs of its new 2018 car.

    That is the claim of Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, who said the team's interim black and blue launch livery is also an attempt to "camouflage" secrets.

    Dr Helmut Marko said days ago that while Adrian Newey may no longer be "100 per cent" involved, he is now "close to it" after sensing that Mercedes and Ferrari are beatable.

    So it is with great interest that Red Bull airbrushed out of both studio and track photos a horizontal detail emerging from the sidepods of the new car.

    "The key question is why Red Bull does not want to show only that detail," Auto Motor und Sport wondered.

    "It's not a new concept," editor Michael Schmidt said. "Teams took the idea from Ferrari.

    "McLaren apparently questioned it because it was against the spirit of the regulations."

    The halo looks comical on these cars.

    It looks depressingly bad on the Ferrari.

    CAN'T WAIT for that orange!

    Ditching Honda was the right thing to do! I feel a glimmer of hope for the team. wouldn't it be exciting if Ferrari, Merc, McLaren and Red Bull were all fighting at the front!

    A four-door! It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them.

    I believe they went longer Boss.

    "Compared to 2017’s SF70H, the wheelbase has been changed slightly, with the side dimensions also revised along with the cooling system." from their website-->http://sf71h.ferrari.com/en/. Tech specs section under the heading Description.

    also

    "Ferrari's tech chief Mattia Binotto confirmed the SF71H was an "evolution" of last year's design, but also revealed the team has moved to a longer-wheelbase design, akin to the one preferred by Mercedes in 2017." from https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-new-grand-prix-racing-car-launch-vettel-raikkonen-1007754/
