I'd pm you all the previous testing results but this board hasn't updated the bbcode yet so I'll wait. |

Happy to see a Ferrari on top. I really wonder what to expect as a ferrari fan in monza |

Aren't those cars look nice on this low downforce config?? Honda needs to use a lot of rear wing |

As far as I know there will be no slick tires available in this test so I doubt any teams will do any '09 testing. |

interesting how some teams elect to keep the bridge wings and other winglets. Isn't the way to go at Monza as smooth as possible? |

Yes and no. With the chicanes slowing everything down you do want to minimize drag but you still need a little bit of downforce to get through the tight turns as fast as possible. It's a bit more of a compromise circuit then it used to be. |

The bridge wing primary usage isn't downforce, it's airflow management. It may add some drag, but it could help stabilize the airflow over the car which will make it quicker. |

Is it me, or does the place where they normaly put those shark fins (I can't think of the name for the moment) looks very weird? |

Yea I noticed it in the renault aswell. It doesn't seem straight or its a reflection? |

EDIT: This post is in response to DA's post. That's true. I was going to argue that the old cars barely ran any wing on the cars at all, front or rear, in order to get as much material out of the air stream as possible, thus reducing drag. But that sort of defeats my own statement about the downforce since the chicanes have been in place for years and years. |

That isn't a shark fin, I don't know what is called. I don't think it has a name actually. And yes it looks a little weird. And it's purpose is airflow management. |

I think it's the light reflecting strangely off that metallic paint job. Or are you talking about that little wing thingy coming off the side of the bottom of the sharkfin area? There's probably one on the other side too. |

Every little bit on the car has a purpose to make the car faster. The bridge wing may be one of these, then again it may not. I guess that is why they run with and without it to see which is best. |

I am sure Toro Rosso will do well at Monza because of their engines. I agree with Lasek, I love the minimist (sp?) look of the cars. |

Excellent point. No reason to test if you only try one thing. |

These cars look pretty good, always liked the Monza style wings. |
