Mercedes have placed a kiel probe array toward the rear of the car, collecting data on the airflow as it moves around the sidepod into the coke bottle region
Williams add an additional vertical floor strake ahead of the rear tyre on the FW37, which will help to control the way in which tyre squirt impinges on diffuser performance (A design akin to Mercedes)
Great article!
ReplyDeleteIts interesting to compare the back part of the sidepods on the Sauber and the Ferrari.

Same engine, but such a big difference. Ferrari's are much more smaller, compact, curved. Those on sauber look like from 2002 or so. Is there any possible explanation?
