Just the sort of thing you'd expect from Newey.
He's such a weasel..................

But that's why we love Newey!

But in all seriousness, I think after the Tyrrell and BAR-Honda fuel tank debacles, no teams would do anything of that sort without first getting the okay from the FIA.

Speaking of rake and ride height, with the OT-EBD not in effect next year, and it being no longer able to blow the diffuser and/or create a virtual side skirt of air, how much rake will teams have to lose? I wonder if any of the teams will find something special that will allow them to maintain some rake and give an advantage to them. That's just the sort of thing Newey is good at IMO

What if they were using the fuel tank as a "heat exchange" for damping fluids, and once the fuel starts decreasing the damping fluid expands.
