Wrex, I belive alesi95 is talking about yaw conditions, where the airflow isn't coming from directly ahead, but at an angle. most windtunnels can do this now by rotating the floor at an angle to the airflow, so they can simulate how well the car performs round turns.
Perfect inidation of this is 1995, when mac ran the (horendos looking) mid wing. It wasn't found out until later in the seaon that the tall engine cover was blocking airflow to the rear wing during yaw conditions, hence why it was removed and replaced with a normal cover.
to be honest, I just can't belive all the innovative stuff we're seeing this year, who said F1 cars looked all the same! Although i seriously wonder how much smaller the sidepods can be made....
