Twin keel and single keel

Post

What is the twin keel and single keel? They had mention about it before when I post the new MP4-19B nose cone topic. Is it about the front suspension configuration? Any pic/article that can I check about.

it´s about the mounting of the lower front wishbones.Mclaren and williams have two towers on the lower edges of the monocoque to mount the front wishbones to.All others mount the wishbones to a single tower in the middle of the monocoque bottom.As this resembles a boat it is called keel.
