i sort of understand why he would do it, but then that "legend" was more set with ferrari & hamilton has a homage to senna
Good to see Alfa have done something different with the roll bar. Since the reintroduction of turbos the air duct has been essentially unnecessary other than for cooling. I'm not sure what the ultra tight regulations allow but I've often wondered why teams haven't lowered the ducts while maintaining the mandatory roll bar height to allow more air to flow across the rear wing.
Interesting comments on the Williams design from Craig Scarborough's Twitter feed.
It would appear that, because the Alpine engine package takes its cooling predominantly through the roll bar duct (see my earlier post above) then Williams are able to use the upper half of the side pod ducting purely to vent air down on to the rear of the floor area.
I'm starting to disagree with FB, while the differences in design may outwardly not be blindingly obvious I think these new regs have produced the largest variation in design strategy that we've seen for years. The only problem is that we need technical experts such as Scarbs to be able to explain the differences.

The back end of that Williams is so tight. I had, originally, been a little concerned about the lack of cooling outlet on the Williams - but understanding that most of the cooling is coming from the top explains a lot... Mind they are beginning to look like:
So he can show he supported Damon Hill in their battles?
