Hi everyone! can someone tell me what the function of those side plates (on the side pods) of an f1 car is? till now i had just seen it on the bar honda, but the latest pics of the ej 15b had them as well. The ej15b also that that renault like front wings. I'm thinking these things improve the downforce..
i'd be glad if someone can post the "details" of these things..
