The FW itself is not new but the FIA camera positioning changes has made it looks like new. FIA Camera has been moved from central section of FW to either side of the nose cone and corresponding with that the Pylon have been shortened so looks more newer ...............amouzouris wrote:well...its not new

It's interesting though to compare this wing to the one of Hungary. If they run higher front downforce then there, it could mean they found more downforce at the back as well.
All three are the same, slap on everything you got.ell66 wrote:actually monaco and singapore are the highest df tracks with hungary nextraymondu999 wrote: Except it's not.

From Hamilton/Sky Sportsraymondu999 wrote:That's what I used to think too. I read sometime back though (2010 or2011) that teams have since changed their approach, because they have since found out that a bit less downforce gives a better laptime. That was Paddy Lowe I think. I could be wrong
It´s like other tracks, if you can offset the straights then more downforce is the better option.Specifically, he is hoping the high downforce set-up he and McLaren last used in winning the Hungarian Grand Prix at the end of July can be used to similar effect on the Singapore street track.
"We had a different wing that we used for the last two circuits and we probably won't be using that for a while now. But we're going back to the wing we had in Hungary and provided that it's working and we've improved the car elsewhere we should be able to compete with people."
It is easy to figure, just you have to see the ending of the engine cover, which now features a small hot air exit, much like McLaren. In previous race i.e. Monza F2012 has no such things, its engine cover end just over the beam wing, but now they end a little further forward and have a gap for hot air exhaust ...................froggy wrote:How do you figure?F1.Ru wrote:Major Changes ---------
