quite interesting the smile on the boffins faces ..when it comes to just how much the driver contributes to laptime.
the ultimate statement is:if the driver feels comfortable and confident he id going fast ,as fast as possible.and the main asset is his feedback to hint in possible directions where lap time could be found as he the drivers could do something if the car would support him doing this...
in a word ,drivers are like tyres/tires...you need them, but nobody has a clou about just how to extract the maximum out of them...
that hose looks like the supply line to the reservoir of the brake master cyl for pressurized brake bleeding .These brakesystems can be a real pain in the ass to bleeding....and with carbon brakes and hot stops you will easily boil or degrade the fluid so it is not the worst idea to have fresh fluid at all times in the system.
the camera compartment doubles up as vortex generator but is this new?
