inbound vs outboard aerodynamics


More air moving faster out the back of the car causes a low pressure pocket around the exit of the diffuser... it also helps shield tire wake (greater rear downforce and less drag)

Red Bull use to do this with great effect year ago in what is known as a Blown Diffuser... the exhaust would exit at the end of the side pod and help speed up and channel air flow out the back

Now, if you notice, all exhaust gasses exit in the center of the rear of the car

Hell, back in the day, some teams use to run exhaust through the floor of the car before it was banned

I forget if it was Ferrari, or Red Bull maybe, that made fake exhaust ports on the side of the car to try and fool other teams.

McClaren showing up in P3...

Could this be the first race we don’t get both Mercs in the top 3 poll positions?



Also, can anyone explain to me the “no party mode” change? Is it for all P and Q? Or just Q?

From what I understand it’s for the whole weekend, so they can only run one map in qualifying and in the race.

Earlier this week Toto was quoted, and I’m paraphrasing, saying something along the lines of “our goal in 2021 is to run quali mode for the entire race”. I’m assuming he sees this new rule as an attempt to hold them back a bit and isn’t a fan.

ETA: misread the question, they can run whatever modes in practice but have to use the same mode in qualifying as they do in the race.

That was a mess! Between the track limits erasing times and all the traffic that was interesting to watch.

Russell throwing shade at his team's strategy, and he's right.

Oh look...HAM broke another track record. If he doesn’t lead every lap tomorrow, I will be shocked.

P1&2 already accounted for. It’s a race for 3-10 every week.

Mercs were the only ones running medium tires in Q1. Looks like it paid off.

Here comes the cluster at turn 11. Who gets the shaft from this lap? Albon?

This is just boring now. It's not even worth watching anymore.

Max will move up to P3 after the start and that will be about it for the action tomorrow
