    Same wing that Red Bull uses and McLaren will add in the very near future.

    Before we conclude that Ferrari is suddenly faster, it would be best to see how they continue to perform. Seems like some cars have better results at certain circuits, yet fall flat at others.

    If they contiunue to be fast even at circuits that do not necessitate as much downforce, then the reason for Ferrari's improvement goes beyond the front wing.

    Ferrari have been quick since Canada just there races havent gone to plan until Germany. Its probably because there blown diffuser is working very well on there car along with the other upgrades on the F10.

    I thought the same thing.... I like it.... but you gotta ask why?

    At first I thought maybe this is Fry's influence... but since they seemed more Redbullish then McLaren-ish... Not so sure.

    I think its more like the other teams slowed a bit. The question is if it was staged or not. I think Red Bull has a lot more that they are not showing.

    No offense but if you believe Red Bull are "Rope a Doping" the rest of the field, you're out of your mind. They wanted a win as badly as Ferrari or more.

    Sure they want a win. But not at the risk of ending the season too early.

    Did anyone notice this trick front wing jack? I think it's supposed to make it quicker for the guy in front to get out of the way and maybe improve the forward visibility of the driver.

    I never noticed it before.

    Yeah I noticed it... I also noticed the "release" was about as delicate as a gallows trap door!
