Something interesting I came across from some other site. Its a comparison of RB's flexing wing
http://spontoncristiano.wordpress.co...stagione-2011/
It shows that the nose cone is lowered rather than just the wing element flexing.

Happens every year dude - as regular as cockwork!

I think that's just the angle of the pictures taken, but the fact remains the Red Bull front wing is still flexing a lot - looks like more then the RB6 last year.

Lets be positive guys, it's not as bad as it looks! I still believe that was one of those crazy qualifying sessions like Spa 2009 and we will be much stronger tomorrow and the rest of the season. There's no point being so negative and calling for heads to roll after one quali session!!

Not really. The overlays show that isn't the case and also the 2 pics show a visible difference in the angle of the front wing as viewed from the side. It's certainly interesting viewing.

While I think that our race pace will be better, and a podium isnt out of the question, and that the race may not be as hectic as they are saying(hope it is though).I am growing tired of the same old issues over the last 3 or 4 years, conservative car design and broken promises seems like sometimes. Hope they prove me wrong when we go to more traditional tracks and we can be on par with the others. Hope for a mixed up race in regards to tire wear and we can gain some spots!!FORZA!
GO Felipe!! Do it for the Kittehs!!

Jst a thought i could be wrong. There be ideas where ya hear ferrari are trying to be easy on their tyres to make em last longer and save a pitstop if possible but if ferrari are finding it hard to heat up their tyres will this mean they will slide more on track and wear their tyres more than wanted and require that pitstop that they are trying to save... As i say could be wrong... Hope im wrong.. Looking forward to a big charge from alonso and put those macs and bulls in their place....

Failing to geat heat into the tyres will mostly hurt Qualy only, as the driver can't put enough heat into the tyres when these give the maximum performance, which is the first lap.Jst a thought i could be wrong.

Race wise, getting heat into the tyres can only hurt the first few corners, then when they're up to temperature, if we are really gentle with the tyres, it should help us.
If that was really the case, and we failed to be fast on qualy because we are going to be very gentle on the tyres, knowing that there is KERS and MRW, I think we should be very good to challange for podium or even victory.

I hope you are right... At least want to be able to fight for a podium or even a race win...

One bad day does not make a bad summer. If all was won or lost in one qualifying session racing would be boring wouldn't it?

Hey don' get me wrong...
I'm not of these guys who write off the season already.
I just don't like to see Ferrari for 3 years to follow someone else and try to catch them...
I like Stefano, but if this is not a setup problem, but something more general, then sorry I had enough...
Anyway,
I might expected a much better performance.
But I cannot accept that 1.450 sec difference is only from the tyres...
It's way too much to be just cold tyres...
So I really hope it's the setup of the track...
If not, then we better start a huge development progress, because we are way behind Red Bull and not just 0.2-0.3...
And remember what drivers and team were saying before Melbourne...
Expected to be in front in Australia...
Podium front at least...

What a smart well planned move by Renault Pulling Senna out of his reserve driver chance this year and going with an outsider! What's best for the team, yah that's why they did it. Nicky Heidfeld comes in a spectacular 18TH!!!!!!!!!! 1:27,239!!!! Ruining Bruno's shot at another years experience for a bum. How much worse could Bruno have done? 19th? Worse yet, I'm sure Kubica [Roberto] would have been ok with whatever Bruno did as a young upcoming reserve driver. But to see Renault push the boy aside for a bum who brings his ride in @18th! Doctors please check his blood pressure!
On a more pleasant note, I stand corrected with regards to Merc. No matter what Ross, Merc, MS do to prevent Nico from wasting his teamate in front of millions, it's not happening. I know there's no team orders in qually, but I have my hopes up that Nico will be allowed to chase Ferrari without having to let him pass.
Hopefully it's at the first turn that Alonso pulls up front on Shummy Jr. If not then let Lewis do his job wrecking RB's chances so Alonso can wizzz by.

Surely thats a movable aero device. and they have a KERS without the R, so it is just KES. hopefully, that will make them sitting ducks at the start. Hope for Hami to pass Vettel, so he holds him up and we overtake both

It won't hurt them at the start, because the batteries are charged when they leave the pits. So, in fact, the only time it will help them is at the startSurely thats a movable aero device. and they have a KERS without the R, so it is just KES. hopefully, that will make them sitting ducks at the start.

oh I see what you mean. fair enough lap 2 then. or when their tyres have gone offIt won't hurt them at the start, because the batteries are charged when they leave the pits. So, in fact, the only time it will help them is at the start
EDIT IF they go off

Does that mean it's legal?

This photo is from Silverstone 2010, free practice. The nature of the break at the time was very unusual indeed, I've certainly never seen a failure quite like this before. It was also the very start of the flexi wing saga for Red Bull, although it seemed very few people at the time related the wing/nose failure to the flexing. It's been under everyones nose (pardon the pun) all along.

Looks like its seperated from the main monocoque, i wonder if the fastenings at that point on the Rbr can somehow give some flexing at speed?? And have maybe broken during this early stage of its development??

Hello,
If the Red Bulls and the McLarens are gonna cheat their way through the season as they did last year then why not cheat them out ourselves. Obviously they're using some advanced carbon fiber weaving processes to achieve this and Charlie Whiting and the FIA aren't gonna do a thing. We should've just gone ahead and use the Pyrosic and bended some rules to our favor. Playing it safe is not gonna get us nowhere; I think it's time to be radical and bring Briatore in as boss to change some things around. Whatever happens tomorrow and throughout the season I will be watching and rooting for our team no matter where we're at, first is better but it's always refreshing seeing the red car making the rounds.

I wonder two things...
Did Mark have the same nose as Seb yesterday - I'm mystified by that one...
and
Will they use it today now some stuff is starting to surface...
Be funny if their 1 second advantage suddenly dissappeared
