Eh why does he call the slits in the RW vortex generators ? Arent they there to bleed when high meets low and reduce the actual creation of vortices?

Some grinding going on during FP2 today on Vettels car

By bleeding the highpressure air on top of the wing elements, they are creating a vortex which spins in the opposite direction to the vortex bleeding off the underside of the wing, hence cancelling each other out

I found it more interresting how he count 6 planes on the Mercedes Front wing.

Also on the slits; like said by Rob above me, they do create a vortex, however the vortex created is weaker and in the opposite direction of the vortex behind the wing, together they cancel each other out.

Kravitz is wrong they don't create vortex. They destroy them or mitigate; whatever word is more suitable.
I noticed he made that error there at the time. Glad someone brought it up.

A few very good shots from the RB9 today in FP3

I am so dying to see Red Bull's rear wing choice for Monza. I wonder if they'll do end plates-only as some BAR (I think it was BAR) tried several years back.

I think their Spa wing will have to be positively Monza-spec.

When did RBR start running two strakes on their floor?

Is that guy worried about swine flu or carbon fibre?

[Sevach]

Not only it has 2 strakes now apparently there is also a cut between them.

This may have been questioned before, but looking at the last photo, the threading on the drive shaft cannot be seen. If the in-wheel nut had just come loose, then the threads would be visible. However, if the nut broke, it could have left the female part of the threading on the shaft. Any closer shots of the hub?
