Red Bull's RB10 blows its nose

Arguably the most anticipated of the 2014 cars, Adrian Newey's RB10 broke cover this morning in Jerez.

While, understandably, Red Bull was a bit cagey with the details and the car seems evolutionary rather than revolutionary, the nose is different from all other competitors.

Newey met the new low nose regulations but managed to keep the high nose profile with what could be described a keel nose (all that talk about him going off to design America's Cup boats had an effect?).

Behind this keel there are what appear to be vents, possibly leading to the exhaust slot on the top of the nose.   A solution related to one seen on Ferrari in years past later "clarified" by the FIA.

Has Newey done it again?  time will tell.
