Montreal R26

Post

Hey Guys, Im back, so I saw this picture and look at the development of the R26.

Image

I have noticed that they are using the endplates near the cooling duct like Toyota, Honda, and Williams.

Does anybody know why they are not using the front winglets, BMW is certainly using them?

Also the winglets near the front suspension seems to have a gap in it but in other pics they look like they do not have them. I know the gaps on the T winglets on the sidepod contribute about 10 kg (it was mentioned in F1 racing about two months ago).

This is a million dollar car, I thought you wouldnt want bubbles like that, also that chimney seems to be getting alot of development work, look at how curved it is.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

Yes indeed some shoddy decal-application!

The extra wing on the nose is gone, but the "eyebrow" winglets just above the front suspension have grown into a biplane. Much larger. As well, a cooling duct has been added above the driver's feet.
