#TechF1 Show - Under Nose Ducts & 'S' Ducts Explained (Sauber, Red Bull Racing & Ferrari)

In this brief video I have a look at a feature started by Sauber last season (C31) and carried across to their new design.  Red Bull have also adopted an S Duct within their design this season whilst Ferrari are using a duct underneath their nose for additional cooling and to tidy up the Boundary Layer being produced under the nose. (Boundary Layer = Formation of slowed airflow over an extended section of bodywork) By intersecting the point at which the Boundary Layer starts to form with a change in surface the slowing of airflow isn't as rapid.
