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.

Still surprised no body is yet to copy the exhaust positioning,what is that??

Any reasons why others are yet to reshape the exhaust??

Is it because the teams are afraid to keep changing the rear wing each and every session/race??(cost reasons) due to exhaust gases burning the rear wing?? Or is the current positioning good enough??

It's a big change for a little gain.
Teams are focusing on bringing their aero update that they work on since several month.

Not sure anyone will copy this exaust layout this year

Too much resources to divert for only a tenth or two.

I´ve read somewhere FIA is not going to allow the blown rear wing (if it really is that) to continue in next seasons

Only thing they can ban is essentially maximum angle of exaust placement. Which is legal under this current regs. They can't ban "blown rear wing" because that's now what Renault will say they doing nor FIA can confirm they doing it
