A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

That slit is interesting on the rear wind side plate. Have you seen something like that in other cars?

Interesting how more and more teams are adopting the shallow rear wing middle section despite the disadvantages of more severe wing tip vortices.

With more shallow tips you can place less gills.

Also the center will work in a more optimal flow field that way.

it looks like a 'bar' on the rear end of Hulkenberg's car, but not on Di Resta's car ...what is that ?
