    Interesting bit by Gary Anderson as well, The Redbull car runs with a really low front end rake, seemingly without wearing out the plank, and the front tyres at least can get super hot.

    Gary said that a few tenths of a milimeter lower ride height can gain 3 to 4 tenths of a second a lap. That's huge.

    Yes it is, so maybe this is trick rather than some supposedly traction control.

    Exactly. I remember reading something that back in the day Lotus purposely spread rumors about themselves having a trick gearbox to get everyone's thoughts there while they "hid" their skirts in broad daylight

    Curious, why do you always rag on Ferrari? You always point out the negative, week in and week out.

    Gary Anderson...don't make me laugh. You want some real humor? Read his testing "analysis" every year.
