Red Bull RB5 - front suspension pickup points

The RB5 is almost certainly the most innovative and extreme car on the 2009 grid. Its chassis is very high at the front, with its unique U-shape meaning the front suspension's lower wishbones share almost a single pickup point, with just a small separation in between (red arrow). This solution has the benefit of allowing a large volume of air to pass under the chassis and feed the (conventional) rear diffuser.
