Italy Tech Corner: Partly Symmetric Lotus Rear End




Lotus seem to have finally scrapped their previous rear wing pylon and exhaust, going for the traditional symmetric central layout. The bodywork outlets however are still asymmetric, due to their powerunit layout requiring a larger outlet on the left hand side (as seen above).

The Enstone-based team also have an incredibly small rear wing which while obviously reducing drag it remains to be seen whether it'll have a detrimental effect on the E22. The car already has a very unstable rear end, so taking more downforce away from the rear isn't going to fill he drivers with great confidence this weekend in the fastest track in F1.
