Wayne, fyi, a very informative article:
" With the start of the Formula One season upon us, all eyes are on McLaren and its drivers, reigning world champion Jenson Button and former world champion Lewis Hamilton. But the attention isn’t exclusively on the champs. Everyone’s talking about the creative aerodynamics of the MP4-25 cars they’re driving.
Nobody outside the team is sure of specific details, but an ingeniously simple system allows Button and Hamilton to control the amount of downforce generated by the rear wing during the race. The wing has generated howls of protest, but the rulemakers at the Fédération Internationale d l’Automobile have approved it, so the cars are set to race Sunday in Bahrain. "
