Very impressed how FI has done everything pretty much right.

Many thought they would be the resident joke of the grid, but they have humbled many established teams.

They are developing their car on their own tangent, using the right resources that they lined up from Mclaren and Mercedes.

I hope the loss of Key is recoverable. I fear they may get lost for a season or two as other ideas out of his scope convolute the design.

I don't think anyone on the grid is running a model smaller than 50%. A 10% scale model would be useless for designing an F1 car.
Indeed got my fractions muddled. The model I've seen is about 1m long..

what's that small inlet on the top of the headrest? (not the one in between the air intake and the headrest)
