In Formula 1 there is an age-old struggle. Add more wing and you go faster in the corners but slower down the straights - but F1 engineers want both.
And there have been some genius ideas to try and get both upsides. But none as simple and clever as the F-Duct - an innovation by McLaren in 2010.
You may have heard about this before, but today we’re going explain some things about the F duct that you may not know.
McLaren was the centre of attention in 2010 when they turned up to pre-season testing with something no one saw coming.
It was a device known internally as Project RW80 but you probably know it as something else - the F-Duct.
And it was their genius way to go MUCH faster down the straights, without compromising the corners - giving them lap time and overtaking power.
