Then they'll set winglets on the mirror mounts and then it's happening again

It's so easy and comfortable to sit on the sideline while two people argue about a point they disagree on, and act superior to both.

price for tyres seems a lot compared to the other things

Maybe because of private testing sessions, you could use a lot of tyres for that!

I remember this team from which Gachot was also part of it, was constantly low on money, so I guess not too many private test sessions.

wtf

Won't a wider and deeper rear wing just create more dirty air and make overtaking even harder?

please elaborate as you guys are the experts

But what would you do if we didn't have opinions for you to ridicule? You might have to have your own opinions and then criticise them just to keep yourself occupied.

There also making DRS more powerful which is unnecessary if they believe that the other changes will help cars run closer & produce better opportunities for real overtaking.

at least they are taking away those fugly front wings

but they'll find a way to make other parts of the car even more ugly

Damn, my sarcasm is too obvious.

And why didn't you explain to me why experts on the matter have put in these changes and you believe they'll have to opposite effect?


Where does it say that? I missed that part in the news article.

The changes don't sound too bad (apart from a more powerful DRS ((if true)), which is stupid).

A wider rear wing will create more dirty air, but the front wing will have a larger span, so hopefully they will cancel each other out.
Then the front wing will be simplified, so hopefully the dirty air won't affect it so badly.
Overall, it should allow the cars to follow a little bit closer than they currently do. There's probably more they could have done, but it's a start.

Well, the DRS doesn't work on some of the tracks at all, so maybe boosting it is a good thing for those races? If they reduce DRS zones on some tracks where it works too well, then it would only be a good thing.

They should have banned all those tiny flickers on top of the rear diffuser too. Those are making a heap of dirty air and when knocked off they cripple the car a lot.

A return to the snow plough? I would love to see the Renault R29 with a Halo.

The couple of nearly disastrous high speed misses this last weekend got me wondering something. The simulators the teams use are basically as realist as you'll get in terms of physics and and how the car interacts with different forces and loads on it. Also, the current cars have sensors for many points of data on virtually every part of the car. So would it be possible to simulate those same situations but instead ending up in different forms of contact? I don't mean this from a morbid or OMFG flipporz!!!!1!! point of view, i mean it as an engineering/safety improvement simulation. Lets say Gasly hit Hartley, for example. Where does the car end up? Did the fence hold up or does the design need to be changed? What was the damage to the car or injuries to the driver and what can we improve on safety wise? I hope I'm making sense with this one, I'm really not too familiar with to what extent the teams use their sims.
