Another Movable Aerodynamic Device?

[weisler]

I saw this picture of the Ferrari at Imola, zoomed in and discovered that the element attached to the wheel, looks to be of a wing shape. Doesn't this constitute as a movable aerodymanic device?

What are your thoughts?

They are considered to be ducts. Both Ferrari and Renault had them since last year. It moves same way as main duct so if untill man duct is legal so are these additional ducts (unless one of them generates downforce).

F2005


Renault has similar additional duct only below main duct and shaped differently

sorry, that was typo - man = main and one "L" and one "if" extra

It moves same way as main duct so until main duct is legal so are these additional ducts (unless one of them generates downforce).

I tried to say that ducts are not limited by number but by dimension. There could be much greater number tiny ducts on each wheel and as long as they are in compliance with FIA imposed dimensions and shape they are legal. When I wrote "unless one of them generates downforce" I had in mind the one used on Ferrari whose shape and position cause doubts about the legality since it appears that they might generate downforce.

BTW, that was not much better than my English (which is not my first language).

Repeated word, punctuation, missing word, punctuation.

And one again, FIA rejected the complaints and declared the rear wing legal.

If it passes the tests its legal.


Honda can cry and complain if they want, it doesn't make a difference. They should worry about designing their own car to go as fast as it can within the rules, and quit crying when someone else has done it better than them.
