Is that crossbeam between the uprights new? Don't remember seeing that before.

Back to my post about the rear wing i have found the pics and it is what they tested before the season started.

Jerez:


valencia (without this)


The wing must have always worked, just Mclaren were going in the wrong direction

but there the wing was aimed at the downforce they run the whole season already, here it is mixed. The wing is similair to what they did last season for such circuits, on canada and spa they had similair shapes.

Both drivers are using the OLD Long Wheelbase version, not the Valencia-Hamiltion shorter version.

I think they had that last week

Seems like Mclaren is doing quite ok at spa. I predict top 5 qwf for hami.

Hamilton had the " short car " , Heikki didn't.
They can both be on the first three lines.

Am I the only person to think it's a strange idea to reduce wheelbase before Spa and Monza?

Apparently they didn't use it. It seems like this year wheelbase reduction has more to do with weight bias.

Date? Location?

The weather doesn't look too good, so my bet is somewhere in the UK.

It was on the 2nd at an RAF base somewhere in sunny England. It looks to me like the Macca is photo shopped into an image of the Harrier.
