With such "vent's" not allowed under the current rules, any fix to their heat management issues will surely mean a redesign of the way its packaged, FIA and other teams won't let them get with that "solution" long term?
 
Red Bull could utilise this hot air coming from an outlet into the rear aero...

#EL_Newey

EDIT: I read above my idea has already been thought of :(

#EL_Coughlan
 
Short term fix, but not a long term solution..
With these "power units" aren't the batteries and the like mandated to be in a certain position in the car? So Newey can't re-jig the location of these devices to much, if at all..
Will this lead to the Red Bulls arse growing a size or two?
 
2hrs30mins in, guess who's putting the laps in?

20+ laps for Caterham.

So it is more down to Red Bull installation issues and not just Renault that are causing them problems.

OK, I know alot of people are getting carried away (mostly on this forum), but that Mercades performance is pretty impressive

Big redesign on the cards if they're having to hack bits of the body work off. They'll have to widen the bodywork to allow more air throuogh to aid the cooling and possible have more vents on top of the sidepod aswell. Not good for aero and Newey will be crying over his drawing board if that's what they end up doing.

A little off topic, but from Autosport

Yesterday NASCAR went a fair few steps further than F1 when it announced that its title fights would now come down to a single winner-takes-all race at the end of the year.

So what you score in the first 35 races of the 36-round Sprint Cup season is just to decide the four drivers who are eligible for the title in the Homestead shootout.
