Presumably they'll run them back to back on Friday to see which gives the best lap time / tyre deg compromise. It's not unusual and the extra wing means more speed through the Lesmos and the fast Ascari chicane can be enough to hold off a lower drag set up. And with the RB18 already being quick in a straight line, that could well be a winning set up.
Which I wouldn't understand. It is the same DRS flap (only trimmed), so with DRS open it doesn't make any difference in top speed. I would rather have more DF to have an higher entry speed onto the straights coming out of corner and also better ability to follow.
Agree. Only when defending the trimmed DRS flap makes sense, when attacking the non-trimmed version makes more sense (assuming similar laptime when not using DRS)marcel171281 wrote: ↑08 Sep 2022, 12:41Which I wouldn't understand.

If you can have competitive top speed and some good downforce too, then that's a no brainer for them. It's worked in the past.
Yes. And that is the wing that Max has on his car this weekend.
