It also leads me to suspect they think their DRD working.turbof1 wrote:I am making a wild guess, but I am starting to believe it is the former. If it would not work properly or they would still not fully understand it, then they would probably go back to the conventional wing due these being the last few days of testing. This also makes me believe that the wing will not be used solely for lower df tracks.
They apperently are using much less air volume to push down the exhaust gasses. This could be beneficial; if it is still sufficient to get the exhaust gasses down, then they have a benefit there because all the rest of the airflow goes either over the top of the sidepods, or around them.stefan_ wrote:Barcelona (Test 3, Session 2) - Day 1 (28.02.2013)

Well he said the downstream part was shrunken so the exhaust bulges, and he did say bulges not bulges more.Artur Craft wrote:I didn't see any difference in sidepod either, but Ted said he will show some pics later in the week....
But I hope and expect that some new things are introduced Saturday and Sunday as is the case for most teams
sounds plausible to mebhallg2k wrote:It occurred to me that perhaps Sauber can get away with lower-drag wing and not suffer an appreciable loss in downforce because their subtlepods™ allow enough airflow to make up the difference. Downforce neither knows nor cares, so to speak, if it's the product of a large wing and low air density or a (relatively) small wing and (again, relatively) high air density.
