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.


An interesting story...

If true, must have been a spectacular sight as parts flew around the tunnel!
