I am not so sure if this topic isn´t a bit overrated. The cars produce a very high amount of downforce at higher speeds, that would have them pushed down anyways. There is something going on, but it´s natural to have diving cars at high speeds.djos wrote:They clearly have some suspension trick as here is the RB13 coming thru a corner with the huge rake turned back on.sAx wrote:Surely the converse is true once DRS is active and the downforce is removed off the rear wing?djos wrote:

Yeah...but so damn slow....Vasconia wrote:22 laps, at least they are doing a more normal job like other teams. Today we are seeing fewer laps and yesterday.
You seriously expect them to show pace in the first couple of laps they run? With the new engine that already had several issues yesterday, if we are to believe Alonso?GoranF1 wrote:Yeah...but so damn slow....Vasconia wrote:22 laps, at least they are doing a more normal job like other teams.

No i just want them to run a bit faster than 5 secs off pace....say 2 secs.BosF1 wrote:You seriously expect them to show pace in the first couple of laps they run?
