F1: A Good Tech Blog

With credit to JoeGuitar on Fchat for the find, here is a good site that talks about the McLaren snorkel, the diffuser issue etc - all the mystifying tech stuff that is new this year.

See Scarbsf1's Blog

Very cool! Thanks!

I can't wait to see my second F1 race in person in Montreal in June. Only 26 years after the first one in Dallas!
