    +1

    See "Ian Rule #1" posted above (Somewhere. ;))

    Would anyone like to hazard a guess at what such a thing costs to produce? Man hours?

    Then X3 (or 4) to cover both cars.

    Insanity indeed!

    Cheers,
    Ian

    There's a teaser if ever there was one!

    I like Sir Frank's outfit. At least they're trying stuff, but it maybe the ugliest rear wing I've ever seen! :eek:

    And we've seen some ugly wings over the years..... ;)

    At 17:07 PM (Spanish Time) Daniil Kvyat's engine blew in turn five.

    He had tested 116 laps.

    A Front Wing and Nose Cone varies between US $130 000 - $160 000 / £91 350 - £111 400

    That's about 2GP's, right? Not very good given they've got 5 for 21 races IIRC.

    I assume these units don't count against their season allocation (?)

    Seems about right. With spares, call it $600k for front wings! And they're doing new ones every few races. Let's be 'conservative' & say 4 per season. A couple of million per season......

    Complete friggin' insanity!

    Costly indeed.

    And Lewis thinks his wing is a "Cheese Cutter" to slice up the oppositions tires.

    Is that hard costs or soft cost, or both?
