Hello Friends, First of all, there is NO spoiler here. I didn't put that in the subject line (no need) so e-mail routers wouldn't misroute the note. A fundamental rules change happened in F1 this season but NO ONE is talking about it now. Not the List. Not the SPEEDTV guys. Not even Steve Machett. That topic is: Driver movable aerodynamics. In SPEED's preseason show they showed the on-dash controls for tweaking the front wing's angle of attack. They spent a minute or so explaining how the driver can increase the angle for added front down-force, then flatten it out on the straights to minimize drag. They even talked a little about whether the controls were electric or hydraulic and how that might slow down nose/wing changes. I haven't heard a word about this significant change since then. Have any of you heard of seen anything more about this? With best regards, Rick
