A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
Well when i look all this pictures, they are all screaming downforce downforce downforce. With all this gourney wings, beam wing, rear wing, and wings around brakes. All one purpose, constant downforce, trying to take big advantage of small packing sidepods, for massive air flow around them to rear end where like on front wing trying to with many elements success in having constant downforce in slow, medium and fast corners. It's not wonder that they are trying to race with Monza spec of rear wing, just to make better top speed because they would be too slow on straights.
To me the internal winglets split the air flux in 3 parts:
The air above it go to GB radiator
The air between the two winglets go to the exit near rear suspension arm
The air under them go to the lower central exit
2mm?
-2mm?
The opening seems bigger than 2mm, but I thought at first it meant they have varying slot sizes for...?
Or maybe 2mm is the thickness of that part of the S?
"...and there, very much in flames, is Jacques Laffite's Ligier. That's obviously a turbo blaze, and of course, Laffite will be able to see that conflagration in his mirrors... he is coolly parking the car somewhere safe."Murray Walker, San Marino 1985
Unbelievable vibration of that front wing (again), just saw it on FP1 around the 7 mins left mark on vettels car. It looked like it was going to fly off. Also its very clearly depressing on the straights and coming back up on braking, so it seems it doesnt really matter what sort of improvements they do to the flexing tests.
