It's true, all the cars have had vents in the nose to keep the cockpit cool for the last 15 years or so.150+mph wind at your feet? err ok lol

I don't mean to be rude, but you appear quite a lot within current F1 threads yet so far as I can gather from your posts, you don't seem to know... well, anything about F1?

Schumacher had extra cooling in the front of his Mercedes at many races.
I also remember Rosberg complaining about heat. Driver vents are common.

It's a shame Vettel won't be in the car on any of Kimi's days, as they both love to top the timing charts regardless of how meaningful it is.

I know about Formula one, I am a big fan of the sport but the technical side of things don't sink in. But things like the Mclarens fdut and the double difuser ect I find intresting and know roughly how they work ect.
But TBF all I care about is the looks, speed and the sound of the things, not the inner workings too an extent.
that he is willing to admit to before the season starts at any rate
(you are probably right anyway - but it still stands to reason he wouldnt announce it anyway at this point lol)
Just out of interest - how fast does anyone reckon the cars are going in relation to their max speed 70% - 80%?
Lotus really pushing it to get some media interest and please the sponsors?
(Im just hoping the McLaren isnt as dog slow in relation to the field as its appearing - I know testing isnt for points, but there is also a thought that going anything less than 90% is a waste of time, as the car will never be run at those speeds /temps in a race anyway)
