A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Easily the most interesting design we have seen since the start of these regs.

Seems designed to twist a lot at speed to drop the drag

The lower element is strange too. It doesn't back off much even towards the endplates. Not sure I've seen a lower element like this

Does anyone else have the stepped cut on the leading edge of rw endplate/structure? Left to the Singha sponsorship - seems unique.

Seemed like the consensus was moving away from these wavy type of front wings, because they tend to create more disturbed airflow downstream. More Sauber flailing?

Maybe their downstream is a rocky rapid more than a steady "nile" and that's why they need such an ugly wing.
