So it would seem that it is generally accepted that a few teams do indeed have a flexi-front wing (judging by talk in the practice) - but that it passes the regs. Now we are looking, you can certainly see it working on the Red Bull on-board shots.

In fact, as I type...the TV company are obviously looking at it as well, showing wing defelction comparison shots.
In the slow-motion shots the Red Bull car wing is almost touching the ground - McLaren comes past same shot with a good 50mm + gap.
Kravitz talking about all those little cascades of winglets on the ends of the Red Bull wings, saying that they will give massive downforce at the wing-ends. Red Bull certainly has the most elements at this point on the wing.

Hmmm, just another thought - that's two I've had this week! - I wonder if the reason for all the Red Bull team members huddling round the rear of the car on the grid walks and in the pits was to take attention away from the front wing when in fact that end was more important to their comparative performance confused smiley <harrow> toothy smiley

Lots of aerial shots from the helicopter today. Looks like they have had a bit of rain recently - Hungary track is usually known as a bit of a dust bowl, with everything brown and yellow - but it looks really green today. In fact a testament to the soul-less, featureless 'grand' new tracks we now see, that this track now looks like an old-style classic circuit.

Massive domination by Red Bull.
Still - once again, looks like the first corner/lap could be interesting with 3 guys who are not likely to give way (then Massasticking out tongue smiley) heading into turn one together.

The first corner/lap as you say Angus will be the decider, and as no rain is forecast I may well go on a walking tour of Coventry instead of watching what must be the second borefest after Bahrain and Monaco, ah make it the third borefest after them and Barcelona, ah make that the .........wink smiley

...using my F1 Octopus skills, I foresee a Red Bull win! sticking out tongue smiley

I know there has been plenty of Ferrari bashing, probably deserved - but you have to hand it to Stefano Dominicali for agreeing an interview with Jake Humphreys; would have been easy to say "no interviews" this weekend.
