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.

Aero guys - do you think they're getting separation over the top of the driver's helmet? They at least seem to have some trouble getting air into that lower duct.

Couldnt be big problem or major issue given how much laps they did today. Over 176 and counting.

fairly certain that's a radiator, the hole is visible in the airbox itself, the open area is uncharacteristic of an airbox.
