errr. the joke is that dernie is a pretty hopeless engineer according to some people in the paddock so its probably just making fun of him.
P.s. ive seen the williams fron wing from about 1 metre away and it isnt steel!!!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dernie is not hopeless.



Everything in the past is better than today.It's true,I read it on the internet.

its just what was some people in the paddock think of him,hes obviously doin a good job



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

yup. sorry if it was already said, but they reinforced the wiung with steel to handle the front of the car. ferrari copied it.

P.s. ive seen the williams fron wing from about 1 metre away and it isnt steel!!!

Sorry to be pendantic, but youve seen a williams front wing, not this williams front wing. They do change them a bit.

Please flame and abuse me below;..............

"whats sheffield?? LOL thats the funniest thing ive read on here in ages"

I ask that question and I live in England!! (Only joking you fine people of Sheffield)

it was the one they were running in silverstone todays horse, since them there has been a test ban, so i doubt they would have done a major job since then,they have had the basic concept of the wing twin keel,extra enforcement since brasil.

no no... they have changed it before the British GP!!!!

Erm... correct me if im wrong, but a steel front wing is a safety hazard, no?

The front wing is a crumple zone like the nose and so steel would not work! If there is some steel in the front wing it must be some small amount.

I think its the nose cone thats subject to the crash test, not the wing. I cant beleive its totally made of steel though

Agree with you guys, must be just a small amount of steel!!!!

it is. it's a small amout of steel to increase the weight of the wheel to give more front grip.

thats hard to believe that.

i will try and find out from someone in F1

About the Uranium again There was a rumour couple of years ago that ferrari were using U238 (i think) the kind that Nuclear Power Plants dump all over the world cause of its high density. But don't think that was ever proven.

Don't think it they would put in steel. When I had a visit tot he Minardi factory the week before the GP of Imola they showed me (besides the new front wing they were gonna use couple of races later) some sort of very heavy material. Can't think of the name right now but it was really very heavy. So they'll prolly put that in the front wing or near the front end of the car to compensate a bit.

yep.

i dont think they would use steel, when there are other materials that weigh much more oer square inch than steel

thay are using steel

and just where did you see this williams silverstone wing from 1m btw?

and whats wrong with dernie, i guess its a co incidence that theyve just become the best in the field, since he joined, eh? oh, and not to mention his first spell at williams........

gonna phone your mates in F1 powerhorse (lol)

The biggest problem williams had was the balance according to an interview with Ralf earlier in this year. If he manages to solve this problem they would be able to spend resources on inproving the car and get faster.

A bit like Adrian Neway did with the new MP4-18 which contains lots of parts you'll see on the Leyton House he designed.
