With the sheer hay making size of them it's got to be in double digits, that's if you count some drivers needing more than one change.

I have gone for four.  Two or three in the first corner and the odd one during the race.  Maybe should allow one for a mechanic in a hurry taking one out with the jack.

I went with 5. Most of those may go in the first turn.

I just went for 2 just because i think all the drivers will be concious of the new wing and .give each other a wide berth in the 1st corner

I'm going for 1.

Although two or three drivers will lose front wings in the first turn, they will also have either race-ending damage on their cars or be stuck in the kitty litter, and therefore not get to change anything.

The front wing change will go to someone on the second third of the race trying a move that was, in retrospect, impossibly stupid.

Even Ant and the guys on BBC Sports 5 were betting on it last night during practice. ;)

I was wrong :(

Kovalainen, Sutil and Barrichello had to change front wings in the race.

Nakajima, Kubica and Vettel had broken front wings, but either didn't reach their pit lane to change them or couldn't be bothered to do so.

I would have been right if I had said 'trashed wings' instead of wing changes...
