Brawn v. McLaren

[dafeller]

In the wake - yuk yuk - of all the diffuser discussion, I was wondering how much of an advantage the Brawn actually enjoys from its design. There's really no way to tell of course, as the total package is in play. This video shows Brawn and McLaren going through the same corner at, I think, Barcelona. It looks as though the Brawn takes a much tidier, and shorter, line through the 'S'. Diffuser at work?

Who knows? You've got a sample size of one and no extra info to go on, so you can't draw any conclusions from it I'm afraid. Sorry, but you'll have to wait until the weekend to find out!

Only 3 days to wait .. and we will find out for sure

Isn't that just the difference between Button and Kovilino?
