Well, it may be fun for him but others like myself have to put up with the resulting chaos and guys like poor confused sammy.

Quote:
P34's basic concept was to use a tyre that would be small enough to fit entirely behind the wing. This would have two effects; one would be to lower overall drag and thus improve speed on straights, and the other was to clean up overall aerodynamics so the rear wing would receive cleaner airflow.[2]
