For pit stop practice when a mechanic "drives" the car, they just need to be able to hold the front wheels steady. The race wheels are shaped to the drivers' hands and are expensive items so using a simple, cheap alternative is probably sensible.bucker wrote:Steering wheel?stefan_ wrote: http://i.imgur.com/49HrHZg.jpg
Haven't seen it mentioned but regarding the flowvis on the helmet: Ted said on his notebook that the little wing/flap on the back of the helmet was actually preventing air getting into the cooling hole below the airbox. They've removed the flap off the helmet which means the helmet is now generating a small amount of lift, but the drivers said it was acceptable.Blackout wrote:http://www.servimg.com/view/14795526/1734
