Somebody should tell Marussia you are meant to run the wing as close to the ground as you can not the other way around.

I'll take decent looking nose and high front wing over shitty flat-noses and a low wing...It's sad that the HRT & Marussia looks better than all the other fucking cars besides the McLaren combined. And that's just sad.

Tony Spark should sponsor the HRT team. Colors remind me of Ironman...
Reminds me of the BAR Hondas.

New W-duct. Disregard the Ferrari animation, but Mercedes is rumored to be running this. Basically, there are ducts in the nose that feeds the front wing. When the car enters the corner, the vent in the nose redirects the air to the opposing front wing plane to push it down.
Pretty impressive if true. And it is probably what Red Bull is doing with the slot up front too. Non-movable, non adjustable, totally passive...

They ran it all season, IIRC. But I think it was more on/off, not based on the airflow direction to turn one side on/off.Didn't merc test this last year or was rumored to? I haven't heard much since then.

Maybe their slot charges the floor of the car in front of the sidepods?
