Some years later he is put in charge of the aero 2021 changes and says he has now found the answer and can everyone stand up and cheer. maybe I am wearing my tinfoil hat but just maybe he was dancing to someone's tune all those years ago and had no intention of coming up with an answer that actually worked. A very strange situation indeed.

I know what you mean Casper.

If you look at the original OWG (Overtaking working group) summary the new 2021 initiative looks like an exact repeat with a few minor details modified:

Overtaking, Applying science and commonsense

Dumped Nick Wirth's contribution, replaced Pat Symonds, Rory Byrne, Paddy Lowe with umm Pat Symonds, Ross Brawn, and Nicholas Tombazis and just re-issued what didn't work with a little ground effect thrown in, all based on CFD and very little else.

Don't worry it will all be fine, no really!
