Purely visually, you can't help but think the work they've done on the gearbox must have cleaned up the airflow to the rear. As I say, to the eye with absolutely nothing to back it up, it looks beautiful and likely to have a good effect.Bomber_Pilot wrote:This car has no rear end at all.....

They arent hiding anything. The towels are cold and put on whenever the drivers come in to the pits to cool the exhaust area and prevent them from overheating. Ted Kravitz explained this and McLaren used or perhaps still using this..poz wrote:What are they hiding with those towels ?

It might block the airflow a bit, but the teams will be well aware of the relative pluses/minuses, and would only put that kind of exhaust treatment in if the advantages outweighed the negatives.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:f1316 wrote:Purely visually, you can't help but think the work they've done on the gearbox must have cleaned up the airflow to the rear.

I wonder if this car have the neutral exhaust, like the F10 at the launch of the car, perhaps the coke bottle area would be even cleaner ?
In fact, with this current concept of exhaust, it's seems to me eyes (i'm not an engineer) that the exhaust block the airflow to back end of the car.
