FORCE INDIA SPRAYS IT LIKE MERCEDES
Force India applied a Mercedes technique, which sees the Constructors’ champions spray Teflon on the outer board and arches of the front wing, as well as the front brake ducts of the W07. The goal is to prevent a piece of debris or tyre rubber from getting stuck in this crucial area.
Force India seems to use silicon instead, while Red Bull has parts of its front wing coated with a greasy substance though only on rare occasions.
On the front wing flaps of the Mercedes, one can spot a digital level as well as a black plastic case. The electronic inclinometer is first placed in the middle of the front wing before it is reset. It is then positioned on the case attached to the flap and displays the relative angle to the main board.
