Spanish GP spec FW being used in Monaco FP1. Interesting.

They had another front wing with increased wing angle, correct? Were there any other differences to the monaco spec wing?

There were two different wings shown yesterday during preparations below. So so much increased angle but increased area as the flaps of the bottom wing are larger. There's also many other small differences. I think we may see something completely new in FP2. Maybe.

not really flexing I believe. He is just entering one of the fastest corners in monaco and the car is angled a bit..

Bit of a dull rain delay for the moment, but before it looked very much as if Alonso, at least, was using the Spain FW. As usual, any photographic evidence from those with the means would be greatly appreciated :)

I'd be particularly interested to know whether Alonso was using one and Massa another. Massa is looking competitive for a change...

Here the photo posted by Crucial_Xtreme of the Alonso's FW : http://www.formula1.com/wi/0x0/sutton/2 ... mon705.jpg
Here the Massa FW from a tweet of AMorteF (http://twitter.com/AMorteF): Image

I think they are the same.

OK, good stuff. Looks like they're bringing things and not using them again! :lol:

Perhaps they'll try it tomorrow, what with the limited running this afternoon.
