Yet in spite of running the most downforce (and hence likely the most drag) Audi have been quick though the speed traps at every race since Nurburgring, yet they have a definite handling/grip/even tire wear advantage it seems, especially over Porsche, but also Toyota, certainly under certain conditions.

It seems that either Audi have plenty of combined hybrid/engine power to overcome the drag penalty, or the aero on the R18 is very efficient, when it works, that is.
