The FIA consultation on the future of Formula One clearly demonstrated that the vast majority of the viewing public (94% according to the FIA/AMD survey) want more overtaking. This is at a time when overtaking in Formula One has become increasingly difficult.

"This new research is important for the future of Formula One," stated FIA President Max Mosley. "By introducing the CDG wing we can give motor sport fans exactly what they have asked for, wheel-to-wheel racing with much more overtaking. It is our hope that the teams will collaborate with us in the optimisation of this radical new idea so that the aerodynamic benefits can be introduced into Formula One in 2007 rather than having to wait until 2008.?

It is intended that the CDG Wing, together with wider wheels and slick tyres, will form part of the 2008 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations. With the support and collaboration of the teams it may be possible to introduce these changes as early as 2007.

doesent look good.. but if it brings more interesting battles im all for it

Interesting, so that way they'll reduce the vibrations felt by the car in the back, giving them more chance to overtake the car in front.

Exactly! Although they'll definitely look ugly, but it's a good thing to sacrifice the looks to improve all the excitement that F1 should give us, imo...

If it can boost the game,just do it..F1 cars don't need to be beautiful.

Snake Vargas · 10-24-2005, 12:28 PM

Yeah, not that great, but not too bad, either. We'll get used to it. As long as it improves the racing, then the beauty will be in its function, and not the design.

looks weird , i like the idea tho,, im sure this will improve .

I don't know what the FIA is on...I see passing all the time in F1. I saw Renaults and Mclarens passing Manardis, Jordans, Saubers, BARs, RBRs, and on occasions Willaims and Ferraris. Not to mention all the cars being lapped.

This new wing design isn't going to make the back markers any faster. If they really want passing (for position) they are going to have to inject some money into the smaller teams or drastically limit the amount of testing bigger teams have. Elliminating Parc Ferme and reinstating the quali format we saw in the late 90s would also help make the sport a little more exciting.

I like it! Seems more practical for its purpose, surprised no one has done that before or even experimented! Great job!

Lets not forget this has nothing to do with looks!
