oh, that's not very cool to call someone that because they're at the back of the grid. Have to admit that passed me by the first time but google found it for me! That's an incredibly rude thing for him to say, I hope he regrets it.alelanza wrote:I guess he's referring to the 'monkeys' remark, which IIRC wasn't aimed at anyone in particular but rather at anyone bringing up the rearbonjon1979 wrote:Not sure but isn't that what people at the back of the grid are called?

Well, Ron made the statement that they never race the same car twice (always something new), apparently they never test the same car twice either!Shaddock wrote:I think McLaren have won the award for fitting and testing the most 'bits' on their car during the closed season.
Thats not funny mate [-Xshir0 wrote:I really love the way this car looks. I mean, it's a real beauty. Of course, a good looking is not always a fast car.
You know what just dawned on me just after that last sentence? IF this car does turn out to be a track dog, it can only mean one thing.... these guys are having a hard time building a proper race car without Ferrari's help

If you enlarge the image fully and look at the end plate of the front wing you'll see a number of black strips sitting infront of the front wheel...but thanks for the explanation...what is your background as you seem to know your aero?kilcoo316 wrote:axle wrote:What's with the black strakes/airflow modifiers below and behind the front wing elements?

I can't see what your talking about, but a number of the teams run with wing fences - they are there to improve spanwise lift (downforce) distribution on the wing.
If you google for MiG-15 images, you'll see a couple of wing fences on the suction surface of the wing (there are slightly different reasons for them being used - but much of a muchness).
