That looks like there's an air-guiding hood over the proboscis, like a shell over the nose. Except that it's just a reflection that makes it look that way, which is a shame.

 

But this was before they need to flow more air under the car to get the down force.

 

I stand corrected.

Thought you had to contain the air on the sides for it to really work like it did back in the day, which the present day rear diffuser has....but see that the height of the car off the ground greatly effects the amount of downforce as it did then... :thumbup:

 

Renault can make lots of nice pictures and diagrams now they need to deliver on the engine!!

Really nice analysis on the McLaren suspension.

Bernie probably only sees it as a farce because he's so sweet on Red Bull and Vettel, and so far they've not had a good couple of days.

 

Glad to see Massa did well for Williams. I really want him to come out the other end of his Ferrari contract whole and in good shape.

 

Interesting write-up about the laps completed at Jerez, with a roll-over chart showing which teams accomplished what.

Interestingly Caterham completed more than three times the laps than Red Bull.

My heart goes out to the Red Bull fans though, it seems they'll know the sorrow that McLaren fans like myself felt last year.

Mercedes' reliability gives it the initiative at Jerez - F1 Fanatic

 

.....and no speedo req'd!

 

I think it was demonstrating that F1 drivers are chosen for their driving abilities, or the sponsorship they bring, and not for their acting abilities....

But then you guys don't have to suffer Jenson Button 'acting' in a sponsor's financial TV advertisements.

 

So what team should be awarded the Viagra sponsorship?

 

The description is BS - that was just a device that was put there to stop Jackie Stewart from trying to jump on and 'fertilise' the air intake....

 

Seriously, each team spends more on catering for a weekend than tire warmers cost, most likely!

The stupid things they try to save money on, and being pound foolish.

 

This is going to be a terrible season for Red Bull if this keeps up...

 

Marussia tests its new Ejection Seat.
