Eh? You need an angle on the wing to generate downforce, a flat surface generates lift. The car I'm looking at has all the relevant pictches for keeping it flat to the ground. The whole nose cone is angled for air to be pushing it into the ground. Don't forget, it's really the underneath of an F1 car which matters. We all know how easy they do become aeroplanes once air gets underneath them.

you need more angle than that car has and the underneath of an f1 car is largely restricted in what can be done to it.

its got the aerodynamics of a bus, its a pitty theres no 3d model of it someone can stick in a CFD program

Perhaps that's why McLaren made a longtail version of their F1 for racing, to have more lift at the back?
