Ranger... I mean Jason is just trying to get his post count higher as usual
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ---. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

I found this very confusing at first. When you try to look up a keel, you find sailing stuff obviously. But of course over the years I found wiki.

Before the noses of the cars were so high off the ground, the front suspension was mounted to the chassis, but in high nose f1 cars there is no place to mount the lower suspension arms so they are flat.

The teams have adjusted over the years where to mount these wishbones.

So...

Zero Keel - all the suspension bits are mounted to the body, and point down towards the track, ala Mclaren. This is the best for unobstructed airflow under the car, but makes the suspension geometry more complex.

The rest are here... I don't think you want me typing oput the whole Wiki for you, as the original is devoid of spelling errors. I've explained the McLaren as there is no zero keel entry, for obvious reasons. I make plenty :)

The Vkeel is considered to be a good middle ground between zero and single and dual. Each kind can be made to work. A V, Zero, and Single, have all won a championship in recent times.
