To end once for all that “pissing contest” (Dave, be assured I’m more sick about these “contests” with Bernard than you could ever be) :

Contrarily to what I said previously, the wishbone is connected directly to the lower edge of the tub, there’s just, apparently, a sort of metallic reinforcement in the lower edge. The same attachment point is used also for the turning vane and this, coupled with the black colour, create the impression (when the nosecone is mounted) that there’s still a small keel. From the pic you can also see very well that, as expected, the attachment point on the upright is very high (lot more than I thought at first), it’s just a few cm under the wheel centreline. I still see the disadvantages on the suspension geometry and I’m also under the impression that the aerodynamic advantage isn’t as big as many thinks, still the point is the same I already expressed : they have data I don’t, they surely know what they are doing.
