Why F1 (and other formulas also) cars have this small windscreens?
It helps reduce helmet buffeting from the airstream.
Yes, but why this size and shape? Why not something like windscreens in bikes? Is it because of safety or just to limit the advantage of drag reduction?
I know that, but they could put the screen further ahead so there wouldn't be any difference in ability of exiting the cockpit.
Maybe RBR will consider Ferrari muscle? The Ferrari enignes are performing very well under the 18k rpm restriction. I think that not even on of their engines broke this year..
It is being suggested that Mclaren have come up with some special aero device where Bernoulli's principle are not in effect. Something called Dead Zone.

From what I gained from the 19 pages of that forum thread (yes I read all of them, I'm very dull sometimes) was that the aerodynamics would be maximised in the corners by using areas of the wings which would no normally provide downforce etc.
Either that or the guy was making it up
