I thought the purpose of the blows diffuser was to blow exhaust under the floor board. instead in the illustration the exhaust was blown over the diffuser.
I learned this in high school, its called Venturi (spelling check?) effect. In short, the area where air flow is much faster then that area will experience less pressure compared to the area with slower air flow. or something like that.
@iannGT2 thats true, but there are other factors as well. by putting exhaust under the car, youre adding gas there, increasing the pressure. the net effect is most likely an increase in pressure, which is not desireable
@pepene93 They add the gas there to heat up the air, as the car is in motion the slight build up of pressure probably won't affect it as much as the added heat from the gases creating more downforce. But... what do I know... I'm just a F1 fan :P
@JesperA86 Well, if heat has nothing to do with it, then why route the hot exhaust under the floor or infront of the car and risk damaging all the components?
the hot air is not directed underneath the car, towards the diffuser because the flow of hot air from the exhaust is used to control the cold air flowing around the car and channel more of it to the diffuser. hot air rises, which keeps the cold air supressed.
@JesperA86 but not if u use it to help air speed over the deffuser more air passing the rear deffuser better, ur right about hot air ,but theyve done this to speed up airflows 2create more downforce
My only question is this : Why does the Red Bull have that giant gaping hole in the back of the stabilizer/extended airbox? I thought for a while that was the exhaust. Is it to remove the engine cover more quickly?
You have such great videos. Love to watch them all... worth their weight in gold. Only wonder why nobody comments? So lame. Anyways, this was an obvious solution, why didn't anyone in F1 come up with this before?
@corotor12345 thats the way they made them some years ago, but when the throttle was off (braking) there was no exhaust flow, and there was loss of downforce. thats when they moved them to the top. but now with ultra fast cpu's the exhaust flow is not completely cut-off when the throttle is off, so the wing keeps working properly

@op3l The heat has nothing to do with it, the colder the air the more downforce the air will create, hot air = less downforce.....

@SlicertekPictures0 I believe it is for the exhaust for the gearbox cooling air flow.

No it is the air outlet.
