Okay, now maybe i'm confused. If i remember correctly they have been testing this a while ago. Maybe in another Formula? But the difference was substantial. To put it this way: They have been testing with a spray reducing technique earlier than this and that was quite successful. Not sure it was these wheel-caps though. But i do think so.
Mercedes trialed the first prototype of these mudflaps at Silverstone last year and they were a complete failure.
Most of the spray is coming from the diffuser and there's nothing fixing that
You the one that negotiated for Xavi's removal from the pit wall and this is your reward?
He was, and that was only including part of his salary as he already worked on other non-F1 projects
I've not done Monaco but it's a great experience in the paddock. I've been hosted by Red Bull a couple of times more recently through work taking customers, and Renault (pre-Alpine) once. I would say, though, that the BTCC corporate hospitality was a lot more fun just because of the ridiculous access you get (and free bar!) - one of the drivers took us round the track for a lap.
Funnily enough that's exactly my thoughts. At Imola there's a couple of overtaking spots that'd be heard to defend against, Monaco he'll just be able to drive down the middle of the track without fear so Canada is the first one with sections you can really take the piss with.
The latest rumors suggest that Haas are looking for a replacement for 2025, so the question is if he's even going to bother with the holdup tactics anymore. Not that I think that he'll turn into a pushover, but I expect him to be far less aggressive if Nico is in front again.
12 points in an automatic 1 race ban I think. There is no way he can go another 300 days now and not get 2 points, despite him getting none at all in 2023!
It'll be Bearman I assume since he's almost certainly in the car next year anyway.

I meant magnussen though, Nico is already going to sauber next year. Is there a chance Kevin gets the boot if he keeps racking up penalties like this?
Oh you meant long term. I only meant for whatever race KMag gets banned for.
I don't doubt this is going to be Magnussen's last season in F1. He was fortunate to get a few more thanks to Mazefail but he's not performing at a level where even the lowest teams would see something worth having when there's countless other options available to them, especially when he's a salaried driver.
I hear they are worth nearly a second per lap but the operating window is thinner than a piece of paper
