MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE WALL…

In Melbourne, the Red Bull was equipped with new mirrors. While these mirrors allow Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo to see what is happening behind them, they also, and above all, have a major aerodynamic function.

The rear-view mirror has been moved away from the cockpit and rests on completely redesigned supports, one of which is even located in front of the pontoon air intake.

The above technical review does not aim to be an exhaustive list. One could have for instance noted the two fins added by Toro Rosso to each side of the chassis.
