The Renault RS19 is the Formula 1 - racing cars from Renault for the Formula 1 World Championship 2019 . It is Renault's 24th Formula 1 car and was presented on February 12, 2019.

Technology and development

Like all Formula 1 vehicles of 2019, the Renault RS19 is a rear-wheel drive monoposto with a monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) . In addition to the monocoque, many other parts of the vehicle, including the body parts and the steering wheel, are made of CFRP. The brake discs are also made from a composite material reinforced with carbon fibers.

The RS19 is the successor to the RS18 . Since the technical regulations for the 2019 season remained largely stable, the vehicle is largely a further development.

The RS19 is driven by a in the center of the vehicle -mounted 1.6 liter V-6 engine of Renault with a turbocharger and a 120  kW strong electric motor , so it is a hybrid electric vehicle . The car's sequential gearbox has eight gears. The gear change is triggered by paddles on the steering wheel. The vehicle has only two pedals, an accelerator pedal (right) and a brake pedal (left). Just like many other functions, the clutch , which is only used when starting from a standstill, is operated via a lever on the steering wheel.

The total width of the vehicle is 2000 mm, the width between the front and rear axles 1600 mm, the height 950 mm. The front wing has a width of 2000 mm, the rear wing of 1050 mm and a height of 820 mm. The diffuser has a total height of 175 mm and a width of 1050 mm. The car is equipped with 305 mm wide front tires and 405 mm wide rear tires from the standard supplier Pirelli , which are mounted on 13-inch wheels.

Like all Formula 1 vehicles since 2011 , the RS19 has a Drag Reduction System (DRS), which reduces the drag of the vehicle on the straights by flattening part of the rear wing if it is allowed to be used. The DRS is also activated with a switch on the steering wheel of the car.

The RS19 is equipped with the Halo system , which provides additional protection for the driver's head.

In addition to the manufacturer Renault , Castrol , Genii Capital , Infiniti , Mapfre , Microsoft and RCI Banque advertise on the vehicle.
