Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Issue with F1 team

[Paul Bennett (pbennett]

One of the race announcers mentions at the Canadian race that
Ferrari lost the main drive belt at their wind tunnel.   That said,
I can't imagine tunnel tweaking for each race has kept Ferrari
ahead of McClaren.   Rather, I believe their half billion dollar
research facility has developed a chassis which can take the 
pounding of curbs and immediately regain traction when the 
tire becomes earth bound.   Maintaining stability into the curbs
and coming out of a bounce can mean several tenths and 
IMHO more important than another winglet.
