    This is a crucial improvement, especially for tracks like Monaco & Singapore where exit from corners plays a very importatnt role

    It can be done,u just have to program the motor to have variable speeds, so that it open slowly after that initial opening.
    But the rule does not allow this, the flap has to open in one single continuous motion.

    More out of insurance reasons i suppose. Fernando should actually wear one too. But the guy doesn't look too scared- i bet he would if i was driving

    it is nice to seee fernando that when he is cornering he is moving his body into the oposite direction, in relation to the other dude next to him that he is like a bag of potatoes hahahahahaha

    Now I see why he holds his head high like he does--he's almost lying down!

    Yes I noticed that too. It's a deliberate thing since the 'passenger' is obviously doing what comes naturally.

    I shall definitely try it out on my way to the shops this morning! Probably lop 10 mins. off the jouney
