A clear demonstration of why F1 is so dull to watch.

The car is being tested in 'clean' air, as though leading a race, not trailing a competitive car and trying to find that extra 1/10th of a second to effect a pass.

Outstanding animation. It does a great job of showing what each part of the front wing is doing.

Thanks, Lonnie.  :good:
