Nonetheless, relatively than there being one overwhelming design issue that makes the RB19 stand out, the important thing seems to be quite a few smaller particulars which might be all contributing to the general success.
One design facet that proves that is the RB19’s chassis, with a particular V-shaped profile utilized to the decrease half of the bulkhead.
It’s a function that builds on the tapered profile seen on its predecessor, which was already extra contoured than most of the extra square-chin variants seen elsewhere up and down the grid.
The apparent facet impact of Crimson Bull’s design selections is aerodynamic, with the V-shaped profile lowering losses alongside the chassis’ flank, whereas additionally offering a extra beneficiant passage for the airflow passing alongside this portion of the automobile.
And, whereas there are more likely to be remoted positive factors from such a design choice, these are going to be additional compounded by ongoing improvement to the aerodynamic hyperlinks within the chain. These embrace, however are usually not restricted to, the entrance wing, nostril, sidepod undercut and flooring.

Coincidentally it’s a design function that marked Adrian Newey’s arrival in F1, because the March 881 additionally featured a particular V-shaped cross part, benefiting from the form created by the drivers’ splayed ft inside.
Crimson Bull additionally has a few choices accessible in its bulkhead design in terms of driver cooling, with inlet ports each above and under the inboard suspension, steering meeting and brake cylinders.
The 2 decrease ports are capable of obtain cool air through a pair of tubes related centrally, whereas there’s just one higher port to be fed when it is in use.
