Ah shizz. Yes, I meant sub 2.

What DHL doesn’t show (because they only count one pit stop per race), is that Red Bull pulled off two sub 1 second pit stops in Brazil.

Too bad this was nearly ruined by Williams being slow on their stop, releasing Kubica right in front of Max. Williams... who’s powered by Mercedes... oh, I see...

The problem to me is that the designers don’t seem to be taking into account all of the negative space on the “grill.” There are huge swaths of it over on the front ends of those Teslas in the lead image. Having the lower cooling intake look scrunched up isn’t helping at all.

Downforce? Wouldn’t something that pushed air downward add lift?

The Z1's is more like a double diffuser than a spoiler though.

It’s an interesting concept, changing the rear wing geometry per side to create more grip on one side in the corners. That said, it’s probably not the most elegant solution.

Looking at this, and the original FXX (who’s picture I apparently posted twice earlier, thanks Kinja), I’m guessing that most of the airflow of the car’s “shoulders” is flowing through their. The rest of the tail seems to be designed to capture airflow coming off the tunnels on the side. Any more wing would probably…

Honda rise seems to be an interesting counterpoint to Ferrari. The latter seems to have tried to find a loophole to find power gains. Honda on the other hand looks to have taken the slower, safer route, using this year as a development year, aggressively upgrading their engines, and it seems to be paying off. 

It’s interesting that Gasly did much better with the Toro Rosso than with the Red Bull. I wonder if it’s just the latter being much harder for him to drive, or if he finds that he fits much better in the former team.

Imagine what Sainz can do with a better car. Maybe the stable rules will allow McLaren to be more competitive next year. If not, maybe the return to Mercedes engines for 2021 can give them a much needed boost. 

I’m pretty sure those exhausts are that way so that Ray Wert (remember him) wouldn’t do “things” to the car.

The original, Enzo based FXX also had those.

But it’s also a rally Lancia, specifically an 037 Stradale, so it’s also beautiful at the same time.

In fairness they were functional (or at least they were on the actual rally car). With a rear hatch profile like that, you really do need to have the win high up, anything lower doesn’t work since it’ll be where the air flow has separated.

At least the button is near the door. Remember when you had to push a button under the side mirrors to open the doors in a TVR?

It’s just from them crashing out of a cars and coffee before social media was a thing.

Because, eith the clarification, the FIA will be looking specifically for the use of the loophole, so if Ferrari were doing so, they'd have to stop. 

That’s not how a “clarification” works. Red Bull simply asked if a certain possible loophole was legal, and the FIA stated that it was not and that any team possibly using it (in this case, Ferrari) should stop doing so. No one actually gets publicly called out, inspected, and penalized during the process.
