A vanity-less VdG during Hungary FP3 & Qualy





Any reason? Really because of he's struggling with the new tires & upgrades to the car?

When asked about the van der Garde/Kovalainen rumours in Hungary, team boss Cyril Abiteboul admitted the sponsored Dutchman "has some challenges" in using this year’s Pirelli tyres.

"We have to see how the changes to the tyres this weekend are affecting him, but also how the upgrades to the car are affecting his challenge," he said.

Indeed, louvers are a way to balance the vortex formations, but a source of drag per se. We are talking about, again, for an L/D compromise with regards to the general setup.

BTW, I have added the term, louvers, to our Glossary page yesterday - http://www.f1technical.net/glossary/l

Heiki reported that shifting into 1-st gear is 'quite lethal', suggested coasting from second. Giedo reported no general issues apart from the very wet track.

It's what they use to control pitch for their connected suspension system.

Better view.

Would that not mean the sidepod and floor are disconnected?
If it was one piece i can´t see why you would put a spring there.

Looks cool though.
