Great point. And this is where the Maccas could score over the copy's. Can anyone recall whether they used their hands or knees to activate the F Duct in Spa?ecapox wrote:Not every team engages the F-Duct with their left hand. Some do it with their knee.

Agreed. It's pretty easy these days, they actually made it easier after 2002 or around that time as there were some nasty accidents happening there. They increased the radius so basically it's not as sharp as it once was.MikeFromCanada wrote:I honestly don't think 130R will be a great challenge for the majority of the established teams to do at full throttle.

Not sure if they ran them on Friday, but new very aggressive engine modes were not run during qualifying. If it was loud and sounded very 'rough' it was probably new modes.alelanza wrote:...i recall Jenson's V8 during friday's FPs making a very particular sound, sort of a very aggressive exhaust blowing the diffuser.
