Woah, Mercedes' crazy F-Duct Front Wing (FDFW) might actually be DRS controlled.

I believe Mercedes have found a way [to link the front blown wing with the DRS], by creating a duct through the endplate. When DRS is closed, the flap and the plate it attaches to is in a nearly vertical position. When DRS opens, the area the flap initially covered is exposed. If this area featured an opening that lead into a duct inside the endplate, when DRS opened the high pressure above the wing would force flow through the duct. With this duct then routed through the car to the front wing, when DRS is open the FDFW would be blown and stall in unison with the rear wing. Clearly when DRS closes the duct would be closed off and the duct would stop blowing the FDFW, restoring front and rear downforce.

^ Interesting to see how that works, I read Haug saying they expect to be 4th best again though.

Felipe used to deliver pizza to Interlagos during race weekends when he was karting, I guess his next job is as a barista.

That helmet's coooooooooool. Wish more F1 drivers would do that...and I wish Vettel would stop changing his lids race after race. At least when Rossi does it, he has a theme.

ahh...but he wins all of them!! lol.

Gone are the days where a young karter can pick up a helmet and paint in his favorite driver's colors (like Senna -> Hamilton). Especially if you don't know which lid to paint it, lol.

Button has essentially the same helmet, right? Still wears one offs for world cup or japan, but basically the same JB theme.
