WOW! This front wing is rather more developed than the previous ones; just lacking the flexi wing thing

Interesting opinion of Kubica after Friday practices:
http://f1.pl/Artykul.82+M54a820bb739.0.html

I don't have much time to translate it, but he thinks that the car has more power due to the upgraded blown floor. Their first iteration introduced in Valencia had one major flaw and due to this problem they were down on power and now the situation is much better. He also said that in FP2 he was working on understanding some things for another season - maybe that's the reason of Petrov's pace.

only one word is right for that wing; WTF!!!!!!!

It is a really complex one, i dont get it fully.

The slot yuo see isnt full width, where you have the lowest duct in the central section there they have small ducts, thus overall it is a 2 piece wing(those 2 ducts start where the large slot is.), but overall this is as close as you can come to a 3 piece wing.

Is the diffuser new? I heard they have a new floor as well.

I apologize if this post lacks a true "technical" observation. But why is it that the front wing on the R29 was hardly developed at all last year, now the front wing on the R30 is one of the most highly developed on the grid (if not the most highly developed, aside from the flex functionality).

Obviously the teams awareness of the DDD when designing the 2010 challenger resulted in overall philosophical changes to the R30 when compared to its predecessor. However, whatever the R29 was lacking at the diffuser/rear end of the car shouldn't have precluded them from front wing development on R29.

Does anyone have insight?

Renault sold out to Genii and since then they have promised to develop at a much faster rate than before. And new management and team structure compared to 2009.
