As it has been stated many times else where the loss of the rear diffusers means that teams will be trying really hard to claw back rear downforce and McLaren seem to have found it. <br />How long do you think it will take other teams to copy the idea?

When you say that integrating this suspension will have more of an affect on red bull, torro rosso, and mercedes, do you mean that they have the most to gain from it or that they will have harder time integrating itprakhar1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00539088465351347830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-4356384838127270982014-01-30T13:32:03.853+00:002014-01-30T13:32:03.853+00:00It seems to me that the primary effect of these wi...It seems to me that the primary effect of these wishbones is to be an air dam of sorts, while deflecting air coming through the cooling systems upwards behind the main rear wing.<br /><br />I think this is primarily to increase the efficacy of the diffuser.

Furthermore the wishbones are needed and so to ban this solution would require a clarification of the regulations to force a shape change.Matthew Somerfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13759263537936706584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-28663513249651438942014-01-29T19:03:27.046+00:002014-01-29T19:03:27.046+00:00hi Matt, I have really enjoyed reading your work r...hi Matt, I have really enjoyed reading your work recently, your explanations are very clear, do you think there is any question of legality surrounding this solution?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-40568153209582091992014-01-29T18:13:09.797+00:002014-01-29T18:13:09.797+00:00i mean mobile aerodynamic devices...i mean mobile aerodynamic devices...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-54438389715661077702014-01-29T18:12:09.088+00:002014-01-29T18:12:09.088+00:00Aren't these mile aerodynamic parts?Aren't these mile aerodynamic parts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-17605681443893873842014-01-29T17:35:55.377+00:002014-01-29T17:35:55.377+00:00I see your articles on a much large number of webs...I see your articles on a much large number of websites these days.
