New front wing

Sweet!! Looks better than Macca's version that originated this concept. Looks more organic than the Macca less Transformer.Seem's like Red Bull planes with Macca cascades and winglets with their own endplate design. I LIKES!!

hows it looks better? its far simpler more like, only the one elemet rather than the two on the mclarens. the planes are similar to the red bull from about ayear ago also.

Well, you're dead wrong about "only the one element rather than the two on the Mclaren's". It's a three plane wing like Mclaren. But' I didn't say it worked better I said it looks better aesthetically. I think it seems more organic than the Macca, which seems very "transformer" in comparison. Are you happy now?

He's talking about the little curved foil inboard from the cascade. Which is one element on the new C30 wing and two on the McLaren.

Remember, "looks better" is a subjective judgment, not everybody sees aesthetics the same way.

The slight issue here is that I think some people are interpreting "looks better" to mean "that looks like a better part" rather than "that part is a more aesthetically pleasing one". Probably a fair assumption on a forum about technical stuff.

Well, before we know about that we'll have to see it in action. But I must say I do find it technically elegant that they kept the solution fairly simple compared to McLaren's. Whereas McLaren's front wing is a study of complexity, a bit like the inner workings of a Swiss watch.

Anyway, there's just no need to bicker about the whole thing...

[Mchamilton]

im pretty sure they havent even ran with that element on the FW today, so kind of a pointless conversation.

Anybody has pictures of the new exhaust?

[imightbewrong]

Interesting to see that Sauber are using a 3d-printed end on the end plate. Won't add that much weight and will let them experiment much more quickly with different designs!

[bot6]

Or it's just a testing part that hasn't been varnished.

So they really do use wood for the planks!

Yep. One of the most ironic things about this sport is that these cars are high-tech works of art and yet all of them have a ruddy great plank of plywood on the bottom!!

[3one]

Isn't it that the purpose of the plank is to make sure the car doesn't bottom out during the race and FIA checks the plank after the race? or i may be mistaken...

so there is not much you can do to avoid it and why should you.
