Fun and games between McLaren and Ferrari at Barcelona.

Double diffusers are top secret, of course!

It's certainly a laugh, but another example of the need to reinforce the rules about car coverings.

No, that's part of the problem. The other one is the human shield.

I think relationships between them are a lot better than they once were. They have grown to realise that they are no dissimilar (excuse the double negative).

Anyway. It is all fun. The rules at races to stop the covers being OTT in normal circumstances are good. However at tests, go for it, why not? It adds to it. For instance it gets some people in all of a tizzy.
At races standing in the way or the odd cover is intriguing. The pictures come out quickly enough and it gives us something to ponder.

Hysterical. I love the way the McLaren guy is almost helpless, especially when an extra screen is brought out. Meanwhile, there are photographers standing a couple of feet away and being ignored. I hope Ferrari were just taking the mickey rather than being unbelievably petulant.

If they were being petulant, the mechanic would be in his face, McLaren style.
