Williams FW34 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

THis is not going through the throat of the diffuser. It is blowing under the beam wing and brake ducts. the bit at the side is the vortex that is formed near the wheel/ brake duct area.

This one is simply upwash after the diffuser and beam wing itneraction. you can also still see the little bit after the brake ducts.

Is that a slotted diffuser gurney I see? Also the strakes on top of the diffuser are no longer present. Is that new or has it been like that a while?

Perhaps even one of those Red Bull like diffuser flaps. I think it's new.

Not new. It has been on the car since the latest day of pre-season testing.

That looks pretty interesting. Looks very smooth behind the exhausts.

Nothing new. We've seen that already.

I'm sure that we saw this already at another GP this year then we saw what is above, with the curved slots.

Yes, this front wing has been used previously, and is now being used again at Mugello.

Only being used because they don't have enough spares of the new one.
