At Monza Lapchin was able to finnish in the points all race without FW. Watch 1st lap how difficult was to be overtaken by Ivar. Weird mod isn't it?
One interesting question is if our car physics penalyze speed when Front wings are higher.
(not sure if there are differences among FW=0 and FW=1 )
Thats why I think that the aero is realy weird in this mod...
Aero grip should be higher and mechanical grip should be lower, in case u loose a FW then u loose much more time etc.
Probably something that would have needed more time is to find a better correlation between the downforce coming from the diffuser/wings, probably there is too much downforce coming from the diffuser, and that's why you can drive at Monza with pretty competitive times without wings.
No, Williams.Are you trying to say me, that you used Ferrari Wind tunel?
In any case David, have you tried to do a lap without wings?
Cause my top speed with wings 1-1 (set up that I used for racing this weekend) was of 345, and without wings was of 383 km/h. I dunno how minimal wings can have such drag that your topspeed is 38 km/h less. I remember that during pre-season I complained about this. gonna upload a lap, prepare to laugh
Just think about the speed gain when they open DRS, easily 10-15 km/h, and that's only a small part of the rear wing ...
Not in Monza imo. I remember 2011, Schumy against Hamilton, that Hamilton couldnt pass him.
