At hot races such as Bahrain and Malaysia, one main challenge is to avoid a progressive increase in brake disc temperature. To make it harder, these tracks have multiple, heavy braking points, with little time to cool the brakes inbetween. To ensure efficient cooling Williams have adopted a...
Spyker have the tough job of making a competitive car without the huge financial resources of many of their rivals. They thus have to take minimal gains wherever they can. These winglets (blue arrows), as seen in Bahrain, are one such example, working with the new aero package introduced last...
This illustration shows just how complex the detailing is close to the Ferrari's rear wheels. In particular, the braking cooling inlets have a highly intricate design, which allows them to be small yet efficient, reducing the disruptive aero effect that bigger inlets would have. A sculpted vertical...
This is an element of the Ferrari you'd only ever notice if you were up close to it when stationary. It is an inclined, partially curved fin (yellow arrow) near the inner front wheel. It helps improve the quality of airflow passing through the front suspension elements, as well as generating a small...
Introduced in Malaysia last weekend and again present in Bahrain, these elements are similar to those adopted by many other teams, but are notable in how close they are to the front edge of the sidepod. There is a certain resemblance to the winglets on Ferrari's F2007. The whole side profile of the...
