Which is to say, plenty of grip in the rear, right?amouzouris wrote:Running without a Y75 winglet (monkey seat) ^^
So, good top speed, good mid-speed/high-speed corner traction, mechanical grip somewhat lesser, could that be a noteworthy verdict at the moment?Alonso was the quickest of all so far today in the first sector, set a personal best in the second, but lost out in the third.
Those are the rag's foldings. or are you talking about the low-left things that appear to stand out?
No stefan not the rags mate look directly south of the exhaust ramp and look against the engine cover...there are lumps/sharp edges protruding out slightlystefan_ wrote:Those are the rag's foldings.

So if they are not just testing the effects running without it, then we can say that they are not experiencing any problems with early detachment of the flow on the RW.
P.S. The monkey seat induces quite a lot of drag for the very little downforce it produces
Yes. That is basically itVanja #66 wrote:So... plenty of grip at the rear.amouzouris wrote:@Vanja We can't really say that as the monkey seat doesn't produce almost any downforce.

Joking aside, I didn't really think that it produces much DF (and it's clear that the L/D ratio is low. What I concluded is that using the little monkey helps in some way when you have problems at the rear. Since it's not solving drag issues, it's helping with the grip in some way... Is that fair to say?
