I'm definitely with you on that one!

Red Bull do seem to be running their car in a configuration that makes you wonder how they've managed to create so much downforce at the rear of the car. Not sure if suspension travel has much to do with it, most of which comes from the tyres sidewall characteristics. Plus, the top teams will be running some sort of linked hydraulic suspension system (FRIC http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/tag/fric-suspension/) that is within the current regulations.
