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.

It takes away downforce. I think it's there for other reasons related to drivability under cornering.

Lotus appears to be losing ground to the other top teams. They better make that DRD work and use it as soon as possible... #-o

I can remember Lotus not being very good in monaco either, and that was with the pelican nose.
