So basically, during the long straights of the track, the driver opens it up and is able to reduce some of the down force which works against the car at high speeds.

A pretty ingenious way to get around the rules.
Doesn't that constitute as driver changes to the aero? I thought that was against the rules. Either way pretty clever.

I'm pulling for Rosberg, but those Ferrari's were looking fast in qualifying this morning. Should be a good race tomorrow
