Review

The RB8 had to be totally redesigned compared to last year's car because last year's car was designed around the blown exhaust diffuser. That exhaust allowed the team to run a higher rear ride height, so the ride height has been lowered compared to last year to cope with the new exhaust.

"We’ve kept more or less the same chassis shape, but had to drop the nose just in front of the front bulkhead, which, in common with many other teams, has led us to I think I’d probably say a slightly ugly looking nose," Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey.
