Why Red Bull are unhappy with 2019 F1 front wing rules

<< < (3/3)

Calman:
Just reading posts above!

Yes, the Alfa front wing is a little bizarre and departure from the "rough" template which other teams are executing.  Rather than a section missing from the inside region of the endplates, it actually appears like a flat block over the upper wing "fin" (for a better word). Otherwise, the curve downward towards the front of the nose - much like the other teams.

Best Regards,

Cal, I was trying to make a point about the Alfa front wings falling the further outwards from fuselage they go.
Most others - Ferrari excluded - rise outwards (or at least remain level) towards the end plates.
Are Alfa and Ferrari sandbagging or do they think they've found something?  :DntKnw:

It is always interesting when someone finds something new that blows the competition out of the water.

It's also interesting when someone tries to innovate and falls flat on their face.  I always liked the Williams tusk design, though they couldn't get it to work, it was nice to see someone try something different.

I "think" we are essentially talking about the same area John.  It just that sometimes when I type, my thoughts go onto parallels, so although I noticed other areas on that front wing (may have been part of their launch setup??) ... my initial focus was the angle of the wing towards the endplates.
