I can't help but get the feeling they are putting more energy in to the FW31 instead much in the way I belive honda have. Or at least I they have, I'd love to see Rosberg up the front, I think we all know he's capable of it.
I like that car!modbaraban wrote:

From another point of view, I consider the current cars' shape a byproduct of the regulations, kinda like the neck of Giraffes. It is then my opinion that with a better set of regulations we'd get not only cleaner designs, but also slightly improved overtaking*, since smaller appendages are also more affected by "small" perturbations.
On the opposite side, I find it amusing how the design changed from "most downforce possible" in 2005 to "lotsa downforce but more efficient" in 2006 due to the loss of almost 200bhp.
* I feel effortless overtaking is actually bad for racing since it could order the cars from fastest to slowest in very few laps and then start a proccession that only random occurrence would change.
Quite. I fear that a) most cars will look even more similar next year and b) we will see much less advancement during a season (since aero and engine developments were the two biggest, not a lot can happen now).Ogami musashi wrote:I think you're dead spot on.Miguel wrote:

Most of of flips up have no reason to exist other than the FIA decided to lower the rear wing and bring forward.
Most of the endplates would not be here if the front wing was wider.
There would be not so much edges on the diffuser entry of the volume of the later was not constrained and separated in two parts (the central and the laterals).
No, to me what is really sad is that 2009 regs are restrictive to death.
I find it ironic that the teams had to find restrictive rules to correct a problem that the FIA and teams created themselves.
I disagree, the battle of the regenerative systems will be interesting I think. Along with more opportunity for the drivers to take risks.Scotracer wrote:
