Title: BMW Sauber F1.07 v Ferrari F2007 - front wing comparison
Post by: Wizzo on October 21, 2007, 10:05:58 AM

With todays 'super computers' you would think that all teams would have virtually identical aerodynamics, as the computers should, in theory produce the same results. Its amazing how different these front wings appear to be.

I always amazes me that cars that follow totally different design philosophies end up tenths of a second apart.

I love the fact that cutting edge technology 'drives' this sport..... where else can you get excited over 1/1000th of a second........ and the technology is interesting too.....

Great catch there Wiz....

The computers don't come up with the design ideas. They just test what the engineers come up with.

I, too, love the technology side of the sport. It's one of the main things that separate F1 from other series.

Good job, Wiz! Thanks.
