Bottas doesn't seem to lose anything without a T-wing, frankly not only are they a hazard but they're also effectively useless unless their purpose is to make the cars uglier.godlameroso wrote: ↑27 Feb 2017, 00:31I personally think it's a waste of time. There's areas that are much juicier low hanging fruit than some tiny winglet that probably adds more drag than anything else. Optimizing the rear diffuser, and floor is worth a good second by itself, as there's plenty of front downforce to balance the already plentiful rear downforce. If the T-wing is good for anything it's maybe as a way to keep the rear wing energized when following another car. Sometimes adding bits for the sake of it is counter productive, because you can get lost in trying to balance out too many aero surfaces to work together. When a more "simple" but more well thought out design can be just as good, and probably a better baseline as there's fewer variables to confound you. Which also makes development more structured and easier to validate.
