Webber was so much faster than anyone else through the the fast corners in sector 2.

Worth looking here - only took me 30 minutes. I think the photo's a repeated to cover the car ?

If you can't find your picture then you can always ask PaulB of Red Bull modelling fame--

By now he's probably recreated the whole photo-quilt in exquisite 1/20th scale miniature. :)

I don't think it's that straight forward. Webber could've gone for a slightly wetter setup, and the added downforce aided him through S2. Would explain why Vettel was faster through the speedtraps in quali and in S1 for most of the race.

Looks like the 'Ferrari' dream is not as strong as it used to be. It's already changing. Soon kids will grow up wanting to drive a 'Red Bull'. The Marques should fear of becoming olden days stories living off past glories.

Double DRS is an innovative solution that we probably haven´t seen it´s full potential of should it stay legal for next year.
Imagine Newey with a fresh piece of paper exploring the D-DRS system :)

why [frick] Newey must be only innovative enginner in F1. DDRS was Mercedes system creation, but you only mention [frick] Newey who have nothing with them, then Lotus created their own original creation of similar system, maybe even better then Mercedes, but you want now Newey too get fresh piece of paper... this not only apply on on DDRS or new special F-duct Lotus, why [frick] Newey must be only enginner to make you orgasm.

Agreed, this Newey-boner is becoming tiresome. There is no 'I' in team; he's a very significant reason for RBR's success, but, not the only piece of the puzzle.

Yeah, even as a Newey fan, I agree and I'd love if some of the other head aero guys got the same celebrity status (and media) attention has Adrian, as it's a big part of what makes F1 special (at least for me). Who is responsible for Lotus' design this year, McLaren's pace out of the blocks or Ferrari's rapid improvement? Not to mention the big improvements from Williams, Mercedes and Sauber this year.

Oh really? I had no idea D-DRS was Mercedes creation...............................................................
Arguably Mclaren started it all.

"Newey has nothing with them...." what? All i said was imagine Newey going all out with a new car design but with D-DRS in mind.
I honestly don´t care a flying F about what you think of him, i think he creates some of the most beautiful cars we have ever seen and i think his way of doing stuff is fantastic to see.
Yes i think also that Newey pretty much decided what exhaust/sidepod design to go with.
I think it was solely his idea on the concept of the "new" system they showed up with in Jerez.

I know he has a whole design team but i still think Newey decides most if not all base-designs.

I think Newey would be more measured and modest about his involvement in the design of "his" cars.
