:lol: of course not. I just though that maybe there were design differences between the chassis.

Rear wing changes



Notice lowest flaps angle, shorter chords and integrated three-gill (retained for Monza unlike others).

FRONT WING - BELGIUM

REAR WING - BELGIUM
Image

There was a horizontal plate linking the two vertical pillars in Spa . Moreover the main profile was raised more in its central section , a solution offering no only less downforce, but also much less drag compared to the previous configuration

Rear wing with that curved main profile was not used during the race, just in the practice. See middle pics in my last post: There is practice version along with race one.

I neglected to mention that this was the tested version because you have already mentioned it a post before :wink: . I just wanted to quote the main differences ....

OK, sorry bar555! I think my fault was I did not stress that, it was just on the pic. Peace :)

BTW: great pictures bar555, where did you get them? (Esp. those rear pics where could be clearly seen the diffuser)

Peace .... what peace ? Were me and you in a war and didn't realise it ?
:lol: :lol: :lol:


Here is what i think : finding an error means that my work is liked and therefore being under notice . No errors-corrections by other members would mean two things to me . The first one that my piece of work is perfect or secondly that no one pays serious attention on it .
I never claimed to be the perfect man and it is nice to see another mad man like me to focus on technical stuff :wink:

When I have a look at your posts Bar555 I do look to try and find something you haven't seen but I never do. I think it's looked at alot and is definetly liked.

Quality posting :)

the MP4/24 rear wing slot was quite interesting at singapore. there is plenty of room for innovation in that 75mm-wide legality box :)
