I found this photo very interesting, are they the torsion bars that we see ?

I am going to guess the torsion bar is actually not seen, the spring is actually a ride-control(pitch and dive) third spring.....

That red arrow doomed Kimi today

Like in the Omen

Did you notice that in Q2 Montoya deliberately avoided the kerbs? Maybe the engine is the least of his worries after all.

Of course the spring is the third spring, this is the same design since the MP4/17 B, this is not what my red arrow shows. I guess this could be the anti roll bar but I find it very big.

maybe that picture should go into the Caption Comp?

I am intrigued by the two piece exhaust manifolds - or are my eyes deceiving me?

I haven't seen any other teams with a setup like that.
