Caterham CT-03 Renault

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.

Looks like another year of FW-inspired punctures then... Aren't they supposed to engineer this risk out?

They arent pointy if you think that, they are flat to the base of Fw, they arent sticking out like this angle might assume.

Yeah I figured they aeren't as shark-toothy as they appeared but they're still going to shred anything that touches the base IMO.

But they aren't even sticking out, there is still the outer edge of fw that will hit the tire, just like any fw.

I presume the top left button on the steering wheel causes any Cosworth engine within 100 feet to self-destruct in the event of 11th in the WCC seeming likely.

Caterham snuck in with a nose cone with a bulged underside, curved pod vanes and shorter rear wing endplate vanes. Hardly any pics of the though.
