isn't that the point of circuit racing?

You race as fast as you can and then 2 hours later you finish at the same point you started ;) :p

So FIA made BMW get rid of their rabbit ears last year and Honda thinks FIA will allow them to use these elephant ears this year? I'm surprised Mclaren are still alowed to use those flying nun wings.

ah, yes, but would banning winglets make them any less the pinacle that they are already? They certainly are the the absolute pinacle of possibility, simply the most technical of what's around.

would not having Launch Control, Variable Valve Timing, movable areo devices, super/turbochargers, etc make them that much more the pinnacle? It certainly would entail more technology and research.

Banning winglets of this nature would not dethrone them from this title.

You spoke too quickly...

Nah, I don't want to see car on the grid with dust-bin look alike aerodynamic device, although it could deliver sort of pinnacle...

Indeed....

What an awful sight! That livery is hideous as well.

Aircraft need to be more fuel efficient than an F1 car. In addition, an F1 car is all about downforce, whereas an aeroplane is all about lift, I would think. You're trying to compare apples with oranges. :p :

McLaren have been testing a new wing set up this week

An extra small wing goes from end plate to end plate over the top of the drooping nosecone.

You've got to admire the guy who came up with the suggestion of fitting these "Dumbo" wings. Imagine walking into a meeting and putting this foreward as a suggestion for resolving your teams problems...............

That guy is probably fired now :p :
