So either all the competition already knows this and already is finetuning their system, or there's something like a secondairy system that is crucial for the solution imho.

It's pretty much the one thing they have over Mercedes, you'd think that they would give absolutely no specific comments to the media about their solution/implementation.

I think you have to design the suspension/cooling/chassis to accommodate for it. Not sure if it's an idea that is easy to implement into existing setups.

The ferrari does look damn good though. If they fixed the nose so it wouldn't look like a curved carrot then imo it would look even better. But function over form, and since it works well it shouldn't be altered.

That's a big 10-4

Need to paint the whole car high gloss RED

That would diminish the carrot look.

Yeah gloss red will look so good.

Merc should be black.

RB should maybe consider a new livery.

AMR needs to go faster.

Haas should consider going back to black.

Alpine needs to go back to their blue, but BWT wouldn't be happy.

Yes, glossy red. I was hoping to see it but alas the clear coat weight penalty.

Why don't they just use one coat gloss without the clear.
