2010 Hungarian Grand Prix ***SPOILERS***

In other news BBC's Sarah Holt suspects a new front wing for McLaren. "hmmmmm".

if u had weights at the ends of the front wing, at high speed would those ends not droop more than the middle?

I would not have thought Mclaren would have enough time to get a new wing ready.

Well it might have been a development in progress since before hockenheim and the Darren Heath pictures.

Darren Heath seems to have a habit of exposing this kind of trickery :P

Well mclaren only said yesterday they could not work out what the others were doing and mclaren only got a new wing a few weeks back. They will probably have a high downforce one but probably not a flexi one.

even if they managed a "flexi" one, it needs to past FIA inspections first before going on action.

it'll probably give them an idea on what direction to go with the "flexi" one

It's certainly no f-dcuct of EBD so should be on the car soon enough. With this track having corner exits as entries to the next, I imagine such a device would be quite benificial!!

I remember montoya saying that the phrase standing on the brakes means just that, because of the grip from the tyres, added with down force meant that the drivers despite being strapped into the car with a 5 point harness, lifted their bottom off the seat of the car to depress the pedal so hard to get the car to slow down, literally putting the full force of your body weight on to the pedal, hence standing up




LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

You can clearly see the front wings moving on the rbr car when watching the on board cam.

Ferrari are not running their version of it this weekend by looks of it.

It's even more visible on the trackside cam. A massive difference to any-other car. But the concept isn't new, they've been using it since last year.

looks like a redbull dominated track again, yay (so far)

I thin its interesting in a track that it would give an advantage Ferrari stopped using it. Maybe they will use it again later today.

Friday is more of a test day, most of the teams are doing back to back tests on various bit of areo kit. I doubt Red Bull will remain a second ahead of the chasing pack. But probably still a few tenths.

This is the Ferrari story on the wings.

[en.espnf1.com]

Many teams are expected to make an offical complaint after this race so it could be why Ferrari opt not to use it.

remember that RedBull never does push during practise, they only show their true speed in q3 and they are already only 0,6 seconds from last years fastest time so not bad at all I believe they will dominate qualifying maybe not second but clearly enough and btw it was almost 2 seconds to ferrari and 1,5 seconds to mclaren

maybe but the wing has been cleared legal for this race anyway so they can use it and wouldnt get any penalty from it

They still flex less than the McLaren engine cover.

Yeah Gav I did think in Germany the cam was moving all over the place, what is it with that?

Mclarens 3rd pedel in 1998 was passed as legal in Australia and then not Brazil, maybe Ferrari just do not want to take the risk? We will see if they run it this afternoon anyway.

But I agree with you, its passed all the tests so if it is then declared not legal they just wont be able to use it from the next race.

The McLaren engine cover has been that way all season, but it's normally only visible when going over bumps or kerbs - at Hockenheim doubtless be turbulence from the car in front wasn't helping.

The Ferrari wing was clearly flexing more than the McLaren, but then we know the chassis and suspension on the McLaren is incredibly rigid, with lean on turn in, you'd expect it there to be an illusion as to how much the wing moves on the outside side of the car.
