On a more on topic and positive note.




Seems like they have the flap adjusters like AMR to create some down stream vortices on the front wing. Side pod is like the AMR with a more gentle under cut to force some down wash and channel air down the side pods. Very interesting.

The clear answer is no, but you guys have set the precedent that it is acceptable to make fun of accidents and driver injuries even putting tire marks on Lewis's head. I told you guys earlier I won't be here telling you what you can and cannot post, but if you post some tasteless things people won't want to be around you guys. And I have also realized logic and reasoning is moot to you guys, so I may as well do what you do and that is be tasteless and recycle debunked talking points. Seems acceptable enough with the entire 50 page + thread you guys have as precence.
I think the problem is that you interest yourself too much in the tech side of things,not supporting any team and lack knowledge in the rudiments of how the cars are driven competitively and the incidents that come out of that.

Hmm really? I guess hundreds of hours on track doing compeitive driving and time attack means I don't understand how competitive driving works huh? I guess watching the sport but having no bias is also moot too. What kind of track experience do you have so I can better educate myself on the sport?


I do know weaving on the straights to try and defend is considered reckless and dangerous. I also do know never yielding in corners no matter what can result in accidents.

Well thats another interpretation isn't it. Thats more AM than McLaren with really big undercuts on the side pods but its still just a computer generated images so who knows. There is no DRS on the rear wing showing but the actuator is there.

Seems to also have the big opening at the rear like McLaren does to maybe blow the underside of the rear wing and the top of the diffuser a little on exit.

Lots of detail to still be released if that is the only photo they have shared, still interesting though, shame its not the real car.

Check this photo out LJ...they call it an aero rake. Its a series of ‘pitot tubes’, designed to measure off-body flow structures. They get used primarily during the early tests and years ago it was common to see cars fitted with them at the first free practice even later in the season.

It also appears that the Spa debacle won't happen again either.

Lead car has to complete 2x laps NOT behind a safety car before ANY points will be awarded in future.

Man that's 2 cars now with the amr style side pods and amr style vortex generating front wing adjusters. Those might be the key elements for the 2022 regs then. If more teams do it that might actually be it.

Williams tomorrow, what do you guys think? Good or bad?

Then after that, Ferrari and Mercedes. The last 2 pieces of the big teams.

Just hear that Masi has to go ( not 100% sure yet )
Masi would get another function into the FIA safety system .

Probably that's why the loser is now returned .

If this is true ...It's a shame for motorsports !
