One partial answer is that the aero grip is poorer for the following car, but the mechanical grip is, in theory, position independent, so the 'penalty' for following is a smaller portion of the overall grip. Therefore, a driver with more nerve canAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572145961594579731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-65677153153382073072016-08-06T04:28:10.726+01:002016-08-06T04:28:10.726+01:00It will not!!!It will not!!!Seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252179182668531591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-3077791763130109362016-08-03T23:17:21.741+01:002016-08-03T23:17:21.741+01:00I might be missing something here.

Each car will now be faster in the corners, so how will this improve overtaking and racing?GilesIGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239944414177437471.post-47750395856093930612016-08-03T18:34:06.954+01:002016-08-03T18:34:06.954+01:00Great photos - thanks.

Hopefully there will be an improvement in mechanical grip as a result and therefore better racing in the corners. Good luck to Pirelli getting the materials right.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572145961594579731noreply@blogger.com
