FORCE INDIA CUTS

Working at home (its factory is located just a few kilometres from the circuit), Force India introduced a new bargeboard.

On this revised version, the rounded carbon flap was split, as on the Ferrari. Multiplying the number of cut and elements helps to control the airflow more tightly.

AN IMPORTANT DETAIL

The floor has also been revised, in the area in front of the rear wheels. The end of one of the two slits has been remodelled: it is now parallel to the penultimate slot.

The redesign seems minor, but it concerns an area crucial to the sealing of the diffuser, as explained on the first page.
