This is mostly Redbull, and all the bullshit they have going on with their front wing.

Comments under the photos per request

Slots like a Mohegan sun. Bullshit.

Fucking I-don't-even-know.

Why is this curved exactly the way it is. Fuck you redbull

not redbull. fuck you anyways

now the bastards can fly. Didn't you hear what happened to Icarus? DIDN'T YOU?

Oh you're not free pelican nosed bastards

so cool with our slots 'n shit.

Excuse me redbull there is a table on your wing.

this is a wheel. still bullshit

Its a front diffuser. More bullshit.

Why did you change it? that was my favorite part of the car and you RUINED IT.

Fuck you carbon fiber

Motherfucking rake angle

This concludes calling everything I don't understand in F1 bullshit.

and some links cause why the fuck not.

Srs tho watch this video. Its worth an Oppo post all on its own.

Um, the tag was supposed to just have "(Checkmark) Sure" in there, but noooo, of course not kinja.

Grounded to the ground.

Areo is the "dark art" of F1 — it's all magic and pocket sand.

Maybe that's why Toyota bid farewell to F1, they weren't allowed to race Corolla S's due to their grounded to the ground design...
TAKE THAT NEWEY!

It's all about energizing the boundary layer and controlling airflow.

"I HOPE A ROCK GETS INTO YOUR SILLY WINGS AND FUCK YOUR AERODYNAMICS SHIT"

That's what I though.

For some reason your post inspired me to throw this together

Whatever that means

So pleading ignorance is the "in" thing, apparently.

Re-energizing the boundary layer of airflow on a wing basically uses a vortex generated to maintain laminar (smooth) flow across an element, this helps reduce drag for a given speed and allows higher wing angles for more downforce without stalling. In short terms, energizing the boundary layer improves aerodynamic efficiency.

Airflow control is super important around exposed wheels because a rolling wheel creates a metric crapton of turbulent vortices, as you could imagine these vortices are terrible for trying to make anything downstream function properly. So by running a super crazy looking front wing, the airflow is able to me manipulated to an extent to improve aerodynamic efficiency.
