A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Just saw this great video

Stunning pace by the Toro Rosso through sector 1. I have no doubt it is one of the best chassis on the grid, probably only behind Red Bull and Mercedes. I think James Key and his team deserve major credit for this years car, making even Red Bull scratch their head at the start of the season..

They brought a slightly adjusted front wing (upper flap) to test on Friday but I don't know which one they used to race. Max reported that the car had quite a bit of understeer lately:

Not so sure it is new. Looks like it might just be in the low downforce configuration.

Looks like it has a fair bit of gravel rash on the top.

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Just imagine an STR11 with a Ferrari Pu... thanks to the V-shaped cooler and the V-integrated Ferrari intercooler, that car could have the tiniest sidepods ever :!:

Tinier than the Sauber C32 designed by Matt Morris (who now tries to design small sidepods for McLaren i guess) ?

The car with the tiniest sidepods i remember is the Lamborghini 291.

There were some interesting designs at the beginning of the 90's ... the Life 190 had small sidepods, too. :D
