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.

This is a much better view of the Macarena. Its enough to allow me to adjust the model. The size of the wing and the angle of the linkage is a little bit off in the model (the linkage extends too much and approaches over-center,Mclaren has a notch at the top which prevents the linkage from stretching this far), but it's enough to have some idea of how it would move.

very nice. I like the actuator more than the Red Bull one. It's much more compact.
