So if the cables are only meant to reduce wing flex it means that it was the cheap way out of designing a new front wing which allows less flex (for now).

Although the bulge seems a bit too complex to just be holding the cables in place.

Yes. It apparently measures tension.
Maybe they are finding out how much weight they can shave from that thing. Or maybe there's moment that is twisting the wing they still haven't enough grip on.

In that way, the dirty air doesn't affect air speed measurement.

Could it possibly be to get an irl measurment of downforce produced by the front wing?

Could he be the fact that STR-Ferarri not confirmed Jamie Algusauri for 2010??? Could he be the better prospect???

Daniel is publicly saying he's aiming for a test role with the Red Bull team. i think he's a year or two off F1 yet.

Di Resta and Soucek have been the two to impress me the most so far. both seem to deserve a shot at an F1 seat in 2010.
