A tenth or two would be great,but they are experiencing correlation problems with the windtunnel.

Conservative estimate don't you think? Would the ROI be worth gaining only so little.

Lovely new details on the car, all aimed at flow structures control... Great pictures also, on some of them you can see exactly what the idea of new parts is and how the team intends to do it.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

yes correlation problem are not easy to solve,might have great number in the tunnel,but may never make gains on track,so i am keeping the upgrade gains a bit conservative

Lots of opportunity to reduce bulky sidepods, I think they are going all out with this upgrades. Williams be careful the Pink Panther is overtaking soon. =D>

Plus, no sidepod upgrade spotted.

From what he's saying, the correlation issues were with the car till China GP, they have got a lot of new updates to Bahrain and let's see how it works out. So far in FP1 the story is positive so far.
