speaking about wing section construction...
I cannot resist to point out that FI indeed does not have foam core wings as is evident from these pics.personally I always believed this was the case ,but I was made to believe it was not ...

Isn't it possible the foam can be dissolved out with a solvent leaving the carbon skin?

Acetone is just the right chemical.

Except that Acetone eats some of the resins used in carbon fiber. There are other solvents on the market that will do it though without touching the carbon.

what a season it has been so far... 5 races and 24 points puts force india at 6 in the wchampionship....

predictions for the monaco gp anyone???

[auto saibot]

a double point finsh is very reasonable, as both drivers hold a pretty good record there. maybe p7 and p8.

This solution was already used in the race:



Spanish GP

PS. Nice Monaco source You have there :]

[mangesh]

At Monaco I expect safety car on 1st lap. It might be good chance(or may be disaster) for Sutil. I expect him to be in top 5 if he can finish the race. Tonio... he dont have speed to match Sutil

Interesting hole in the diffuser there, on the left hand side there is a tiny horizontal hole

[wesley123]

I dont see it, but what i do see is a pipe for the F-Duct, you see it get bent upwards in there, can only mean a F-Duct

This hole:


Better view of the ducts:


And I think they are simply directed cooling, not F-duct related as you can see that they have a thin fin on:

[wesley123]

yep, those are for cooling as they were there before, in the pic you couldnt see the second pipe that well.

Also there isnt any hole in there, it is just an extension to create some extra downforce.

I'm pretty sure that it is a hole, you can see some light through it. Although it might be covered when in full race config.

[wesley123]

the thing you talking about is just the upper part of that extension i was talking about, no hle there
