The 1 month break is over :thumbleft:

Dont know which way its going to go now, as the front wing tests have changed............ I think McLaren will hopefully improve.

Just hoping the .5 second a lap quicker doesnt happen again :wtf:

it was a 50kg static weight test on it. This has changed to 100kg. It because the front wings are not meant to flex during the loading of racing, but red bull (then Ferrari) started improving times and when looked into, it was noted that the wings flexed.

a clever workround on the rules (the same as the f duct), and within the rules at the time. Dont see how they can change rules mid season

It will be interesting to see if it makes any difference, of they are just better

It seems like they make changes all the way through which is why Red Bull are now doing much better. Maybe they should not be allowed to mod during season? I do hope McLaren improve!

They can make any amout of changes within the rules during a season. This is different, as the rules have changed (during a season)

Nothing wrong with development during the racing season, its a big part of f1.

The developments have certainly changed how the cars perform this season. So what rules have been changed, is it down to the front diffuser?

as stated above, its the static weight test on the front wing, basically they dont want any movement on the front wings during the race

Looks like red bulls wings have been clipped :huray:

Well done Lewis.

Time will tell when the RBs go to Singapore which is a track more suited to their car. Hopefully another 25 points for Lewis in italy as well :-)

Shame????? Vettel is a liability!!!!!

He must really stop and think about when and where to overtake...It wasn't just Jenson that suffered as a result of Vettels judgement....

Will he get fined for that or was it legal?

looks like nothing else has happened to vettel. It was dealt with during the race with a drive through.

He didn't appear to mean to do it, and there was no particular advantage in doing so.

Still annoying :cussing: :sad:
