Williams FW38 Mercedes

The RW is hardly producing anything as much downforce as the 2017 RW and floor will be producing. So i guess it aims more at understanding the tyre behaviour with a Monaco RW (which hasn't been build yet)

Speaking of pushing... is this legal???

Lovely, mid 1980's style crazy rear wing

It's definitly illegal and must not be used during a regular weekend. But during test sesssions, you can test stuff, of course (in this case the effects of more downforce and aerodynamics as others have mentioned before), so cars can be fitted with weird and usually illegal things on testing days (e.g. you also see those "grill"-like sensors on some cars; those aren't actually legal either but can be used for testing)

On another note, i like that "dare to be different" sticker on the rear

Why is the drs on though?

It's an initiative to get more female drivers into racing.

Susie Wolff seems to be directly involved in this organization.

Thanks for that info! I already thought it's highly unlikely that it's in any way related to the rear wing

Williams did something similar last year also, remmember this?

[Blackout]

Mounted a high speed camera to the wings mainplane, which looks across at the checkered stickers.

What are those checkered stickers for, again? many teams are using them nowadays... to monitor flexibility?

Fine!, I'll be the one who posts it! Here is obligatory rear wing homage to--

1984 Toleman TG184 (Senna provenance of course)--



1983 Spirit 201C, much more obscure car--


Don't be impressed, I simply plucked these pics from other F1T threads...

[Sevach]

I like this one better.

[FW17]

Lot of teams use to use that setup in Monaco
