Thanks Lonny a nice piece about how teams spend money on what we think are bonkers tweaks.   ;)

I note however that the lauded aerodynamicist Newey has not seen fit to tinker too much in the front wing area, but the car keeps getting faster and faster.
Now either he is putting effort in elsewhere...….. or it's a Honda...…. or Max effect.   :D

It's amazing what a large effect small tweaks can have on aero. I think that's a big part of why many of us would like to see the cars be less dependent on it.

Maybe Adrian got the nose right on the first try.  ;)
