Is that the front flap actuator?

[marcush.]

that is one of the two actuators then and ALOT of hardware.. is this the way to reduce weight???
would I have a heavy autosport connector in the endplate ? I don´t think the two assemblies can weigh much less than 500g each... wow..

Interesting. Didn't know tat F1 cars are apparently running only about 18 psi or 1.2 bars of tire pressure.

Yeah, the pressure builds with the temperature and centrifugal forces in the tyre.

Hasnt change much since I heard about those numbers 15 years ago.

WOW!

This is the simplest front wing actuator seen amongst others seen till date (with length to full endplate). Cool!

Perhaps this is not the T127 complete front wing angle adjustment mechanism . I assume that there is an additional mechanism housed inside the wing's flap but i do not have a photo to verify it .

I dont get the point about the step around the crashbox and aft the sidepods end. The HRT got same.

Maybe the double diffuser throat begins from there. It could be a rough rendition.?

Quite interesting how they opted for a Mercedes-like razor fin rather than a more conventional sharkfin like some of the other teams
