I was only joking...didnt want to offend anyone, its just that how can you say a wing is draggy by a pic??? Kinda hard dont u think??? Personal opinions are welcome, but jeez...this one made me laugh (dont want to seem arrogant)

LotusF1,
I wasn’t having a dig, You’re right you can’t tell from a pic, but guessing is all part of the fun.

But are you MG? lol

Snow-plow? That'd clear some things up. I've always thought it was a bird feeder of some sort, placed there to promote the new, 'ecological' F1. It's a pity they replaced it
Let's just hope Kubica won't have his brand new front wing 'pimped', like he had on Spa or Monza..

If it looks like a parachute, then its pretty easy to say that it is probly quite "draggy"

I wish they would have gone more radical with the diffuser.


But you can clearly see how hard it is to accommodate a big size ddd on a car. The crash structure has totally changed. It's now swooping up more like Brawn or RedBull. This shows why this has taken so long. They needed a new gearbox casing, eventually new gearbox internals, at least new crash tests.

It's a shame how this year was more about clever rule interpretation than good engineering (OK, you can classify rule interpretation also as some kind of engineering but I hope you know what I mean).


Does anybody know what that boy thing to the right of the crash structure is?

Hook for the rear jack.

Scarbs pointed out an interesting detail of the new rearwing in his tech article: Only the inlet is restricted to the central 15cm, the exit of the whole spans the whole width.
