Two teams are set to debut their own versions of McLaren’s F-duct system which provides less downforce on the straights and therefore a greater top-speed.
Red Bull and Force India will debut the system for the first time, whilst Ferrari are set to use an improved system for the first time which doesn’t force the driver to use his hand to block a hole leaving just one hand to steer.
Mark Webber confirmed Red Bull’s introduction of the system: “Yes, we will give the F-duct a go tomorrow,” Webber said in Turkey. “We will give it a chance.”
Whilst Force India’s Liuzzi is optimistic that it will provide the team with some much needed pace, pushing the Indian team even further up the timesheets.
“We are really optimistic about it,” said Liuzzi. “You can never know. It might change tomorrow, but the team has done a big work in the wind tunnel for the last two weeks to test it and it seemed to work pretty well.
“Tomorrow we’ll get the confirmation because on track you never know, but we are pretty optimistic that it should be spot on.”
