The photos, taken by WRI2 show well the rear end of the Renault-powered car, its innovative suspension, its floor, exhausts and diffuser.

The controversy that rages since last year around the RB7’s supposed flexible front wings caused team boss Christian Horner to react energetically.

On Thursday in the Sepang paddock, Horner said that the front wing complaints had to stop. He insisted that his team's car has always complied with the regulations.

To the journalists in attendance, he explained that the Red Bull RB7 runs with quite a high rake angle, “so inevitably when the rear of the car is higher, the front of the car is going to be lower to the ground. It is obvious science, and therefore our wing complies fully with the regulations. It will look lower to the ground because the rake in our car is higher. It is simple mathematics,” Horner explained.
