No, no... I'm Antonia Terzzi's alter ego. I had that elephant nose idea she applied on Williams some 3-4 years before her but it looked so radical that I was afraid to show it to anyone :cry:

It just occurred to me that using water as the 'mass' would fall foul of the moveable ballast rule! :lol: as soon as the driver took a drink the ballast would move from the damper into the driver, thereby moving the ballast and thereby breaking a rule!! On that basis I guess any car featuring a drinks container must forthwith be excluded from the championship - I'm going to whistleblow to the FIA straight away !!
