Let's just think about taping the brake ducts .All open wheel racing cars have air ducts to cool the brakes as they can reach incredible temperatures in very hot conditions .In damp or wet tracks they tape the ducts to stem the flow of cool air as the brakes don't run so hot dj says he has it on good authority from Toto that they taped the ducts up on Nico,s car too much ,and not on Lewis,s OR not as much ! Now IF Nico,s brake ducts were taped up more on His car stemming the cool air then his brakes and tyres would be running warmer than Lewis,s were ,as Lewis had no ducting taped so are some people on here or at Mercedes trying to baffle us with bullshit ?
