cool vid! I'm not a big fan of how the 2009 front and rear wings look but if they help provide more overtaking opportunities then the ugliness will be worth it

they reduce grip in order to save weight in the rear? what?! are wings THAT heavy? what are they like 10 lbs? so they make it narrower so its 8.5lbs? I guess less drag helps.
Funny I was amazed by all these aero veins and random aero flaps everywhere and now they decide to terminate them

good find moike! I'm actually excited to see how the KERS systems will affect the drivers and how much of a difference it will make. Hopefully no poor engineer gets shocked in the process like what happened with BMW iirc
