RB already has the best chassis in 2019. They just need Honda to deliver the right engine. Not surprised the 2020 car looks very similar to last years. It was a great platform already.
As usual Red Bull’s aero seems to be 1 year further down the line compared to Ferrari. So many more details

I think so, Ferrari looks really simple in comparison Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Different approaches. The Red Bull has cape under the nose like Mercedes, the Ferrari looks slimmer at the back because Red Bull puts more stuff above the engine... I don't think any conclusion can be made apart from that they're different.
Tech insight: What's behind new Red Bull nose Red Bull's new RB16 may look at first glance to be an evolution of last year's car, but there are some intriguing differences that will have grabbed the interest of rival teams. Giorgio Piola In particular, there appears to have been a lot of work in the nose area to try to better optimise airflow in this area of the car. Red Bull has tried various solutions here over the years, but for 2020 it has taken things on a step further than before – even though it is hard to understand their design fully from just the one picture available. Looking closely at the tip of the nose, the lower vented nose tip now has a duck bill atop it, which is also accompanied by another vent placed in the upper ramp section. The flow from here will be fed rearwards to other aerodynamic surfaces and devices, such as the S-duct, which like last season now has a narrower outlet on the bridge of the nose.

Further helping on this front are two fins situated above and behind the cockpit that appear to be diverting air around the back of the engine cover. Looking between the nose tip and front wing pylons, a snow plough device is also mounted which feeds airflow to the underside of the nose. Here, there is a newly formed caped section that flanks the nose. The cape is much more like the variation first used by Mercedes in 2017, rather than the ones seen elsewhere on the grid since. Red Bull is testing the car for the first time at a filming day at Silverstone on Wednesday.
All the cars released so far look so similar to last years models in terms of both design and livery they should be called update or "type B versions" Because the main sponsors in the main teams lock in sponsorship deals for years at a time, gone are the days when each year the cars livery looked a lot different from one year to the next. I miss those days...
Agreed! Ferrari needed to move in a new direction. Did they do it right vs Red Bull who were evolution

We will all see how any new aero plays out at the 1st race...even in testing we won't be able to tell 100% how got it right and who did not as teams don't show everything.
I have front air deflector from Räikkönen 's championship winning F2007 car. They were still quite simple ones at those days.

a lot fewer sponsors on that car and the main one won’t be allowed to show up on most races... Looks pretty sad
