I'm sure Fractal's already hit it but damn that's just wonderful; it truly makes me smile. I do so love this little sport.

Word is that the FIA has already signed off on it as of last summer.

The race fan is me is glad the mandated a center exhaust, but the aerodynamicist in me will dearly miss the Coand witchcraft.

Agreed. Applied ingenuity for competitive advantage makes the sport.

I love those clever bastards.

But just look at the monkey seat:

Forcing the exhaust upwards and under the wing.

I really hope RB isn't so dominant this year.

True, but I really hope RB can make their car not break down during the first lap.

Oh most certainly. The spirit of them not winning every race is in the spirit of competition, by no means do I want them riddled with break downs.

I really love to see the teams I like battle for those wins, they are just so much better then.

I don't think the effect is going to create nearly enough downforce, both on the rear wing and from the monkey seat itself. Possibly 0.1 seconds/lap? (pure guess)

It'll heat up the air, making it move faster, thus causing the back end to pull down. You know, just like magic.
