Default Science of Winds

An interesting illustration of F1 downforce production.

It's a bit basic and looks like something that would appear in USA Today, but I noticed one thing.



Who would have guessed the rear diffuser produces more downforce than the barn door rear wing?(40% vs. 35%)

Gorgeous!

And yes, I'm suprised too at the extent of the rear diffuser's contribution.
