Williams FW34 Renault

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.

I find the method very interesting. I presume that is a high speed camera.

The asymmetric exhaust runs are providing the same good, valuable data like running twice with different exhaust solutions?

same here, i just love the way they go about doing things.

Like the strakes behind the diffuser, looks like nothing i´ve seen before.
the vents in the rear wing, the beautiful monkey seat, the beautiful packaging of the engine etc.

The package at the back is all down to their lovely gearbox, gotta love an F1 team that has an amazing department for developing bigger parts then just aero parts. To bad their KERS system with a flywheel is to big for F1.

Anyone got any pictures of this?
Here it is.. I am sure I saw other teams with similar sensors on? Didn't Mclaren had these at one point last year?

Yeah that is sensors, not tubes leading air.

Here are the same pictures in higher resolution. Looks like tubes for pressure sensors that teams usually use.

I also noticed aero rake on the left side behind the front wheel

A question on FW34 front wing
It is still an "outwash" front wing?

From 2009 this type of wing has been dominating, in contrast with "inwash"
This front wing seems to get flows inside the car, instead of around

It does look like there is a small edge above the lower edge of that inner section.
