During the third day of testing at the Circuit of Jerez, Nick Heidfeld was the fastest man on track in the Lotus Renault GP car. The German was followed by Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher in his Mercedes. Testing will continue tomorrow.
) thanksI've been to a few MotoGP races here over the last few years, and the stadium complex is an awesome amphitheatre to watch. The bikers use the Criville turn and it has to be one of the most impressive high speed turns on their calender. It's a pity F1 use the Senna chicane instead. I doubt he would have appreciated that!mx_tifosi wrote:Going by the maps in the English and Spanish language entries in Wikipedia, I would say that the Senna chicane is used.
As far as I see it it's similar to the roll hoop that Mercedes had, but backwards. This season Lotus had to make it thicker and these shaped wheel spokes have to be smaller/thinner.No more shaped wheel spokes
After the static front wheel fairings that abounded in 2009, were banned and the wheel design homologated, there must have been some surprise that Ferrari managed to create an aerodynamic wheel shape in 2010. This is partly limited now by the restriction on surface area for spokes and shaping. The limited only allows 13% of the wheel centre to be spoked, meaning that a ten spoke wheel has to have spokes just 16mm wide.
“12.4.6 When viewed perpendicular to the plane formed by the outer face of the wheel and between the diameters of 120mm and 270mm the wheel may have an area of no greater than 24,000mm2.”
