You're labelling people's views with a distorted opinion by calling them "haters".

Also with a short memory clearly not stretching back to the point in which McL were fined into 100 million (estimate from recall) dollars ..... for cheating, that's if you want to dramatise things :D

This, disclosure or whatever people want to call it, has always been part of F1. It is, defacto as it's often used, a method of bringing out into the open something that is likely happening behind closed doors, whomsoever may be carrying that out.

The net result being that it will stop now IF anyone were to be using it.

It is a technical forum, these are factually part of how this sport is conducted.

Calling every opposition to your view (papayafan481) by a derogatory name, is simply juvenile.

Point it - this got raised in media before the weekend. So when it’s been brought up as much as it did- and potentially with the support from other teams - if you were the one doing it… you would be silly to do it again when it was under so much scrutiny.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.

... At 80 degrees C air can hold 8 grams of water per cubic meter at 100% Rel humidity so it's not much to get into a tyre.

Add to this the improvements in thermal conductity (note convection will come into play more) but conductivity also important at the boundary layer.

what 'improvement in thermal conductivity' does the graph show ?
Yes a mistake on my part! The source was not credible and I didn't even realise their graph had bad data from some cheap software...(Just trust my instincts as usual my friend! 8) )

Despite this, as I said, the increase in heat transfer coefficient would be more useful, just posting this for more information.
