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.

Matchett suggested it's a test for sightlines on the F1.10

I am guessing that it's a mini air dam.. backs up the air on top of the (what do you call that part of the car? bonnet? lol) front of the car to increase the static pressure in that area to give more down force.

nope,they are just seeing how high they can raise the nose before it gets more in the driver's sight than Kubica's own nose.

They are going for extreme nose height next year like the Red bull has this year.

Could be. I have read in Polish newspaper that BMW was testing parts for next races and some things for next year.

OK, makes sense. So it definitely won't be in the race.

I think they finally understood that the car was only good as one of the best seats to watch the race. Of course they had to add some room for the chips and beer.
