Can HRT just mount their F111 fromt wing(similar to brawngp)now, because this years front wing looks nothing aerodynamic.

Can anyone answer this?
I would say they that the rear edge of the top wing element is in the same plain as the rear edge of the end plate IF view from directly above. This photo has an angle involved which along with the varying heights on the items that we are comparing makes for a tricky observation.

Oh, right this is a low DF / AoA wing. It all makes sense now.

Yes probably the front wing everyone has been complaining about.

They must have been working hard over the easter break. I also see HRT has joined Marussia's complaint about the Caterham Force India Cheating scandal. I guess no one is surprised as HRT have the most to gain. =D>

I don't think the front wing can be categorized as a small upgrade, but who knows... can't wait, it's been too long 3 weeks :D

I think he's referring to variable cross section like pretty much every other team has on their front wings.

I think he is suggesting an endplateless front wing, similar to their nearest rivals; Marussia. However I don't believe HRT will be able to pull that off efficiently.

If there is a new front wing, then this is it I guess...

Anyone notice anything new?
