Pirelli will use the same two compounds in Australia as will be used in Malaysia. In Australia we struggled to tell which compound was being used. Pirelli mark each different tyre type with different colour logos. For Malaysia they will also add a radial stripe on the tyres sidewall to provide a more continuous flash of colour to be clearer for trackside fans and TV viewers. For this weekend the Silver marking will show the harder prime tyre and the yellow colouring for the softer option tyre.
Wet – orange
Intermediate – light blue
Supersoft – red
Soft – yellow

Hard – silver

Webber’s Australian pace and rear suspension fault have been clarified. It was suggested that the problem he had was a seized element in the rear suspension, possibly a heave damper or inerter. It now seems that while a rear damper was faulty, this occurred in the race and was not the total answer for his pace problems over the weekend.

Rear Upright
Nothing particularly innovative here, but a nice view of the rear upright. Now made from aluminum as demanded by the regulations. The brake disc mounts to the splines on the titanium axle, while the brake caliper mounts to the two bolts beneath the upright.
Front upright
Already shrouded in the cooling ducts you can see how the main inlet feeds different ducts, one large one duct passes the around the upright to feed the holes in the disc, while smaller tubes snake around to cool the pistons in the calipers.

Renaults spare moncoque shows some of the detail not seen on the car, when its fully assembled. Firstly the Side Impact Tubes (SITs) are visible. At least two sets are, the lower SITs we saw at the Australian GP are not yet fitted. (Details here: http://scarbsf1.wordpress.com/2011/03/24...t-details/). Instead we can see an upper pair and single middle SIT. The shorter upper and middle SITs fit within the beaks above and below the sidepod inlet, in a manner similar to Ferraris sidepod set up.
The fuel tank area is quite large, since no refuelling is allowed The tank roughly sits behind the bare carbon fibre and the silvered section of monocoque. Note how it bulges outwards halfway down the side of the tub, this keeps the fuel low int he car, as much as possible. The radiator sits just above this bulge.
Whats not visible, surprisingly, is any amount of heat sheilding for the Front Exit Exhaust (FEE). From the Australian pictures we saw that the exhaust pipe runs beneath the radiator and wrapped within its own insulation. Not to downplay the issues in protecting the cars components from the heat of the exhaust pipe. There appears to be few changes needed to made directly to the moncoque to package this set up.
Also note the low position of the fuel filler, as this no longer needs to be easily accessible to the mechanic for in-race refuelling.
