What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

All of these aerodynamic additions seem to have done their job, the RC-F is a housefly on RedBull, darting from side to side at only the slightest suggestion of a direction change. Don't get me wrong, it's not particularly nervous, but you steer it more with thought than actual input. This is thanks to the myriad of suspension and chassis changes that have helped shed weight and help improve response.
