The
BMW-Sauber Formula 1 team is expected to race their C29s in Australia fitted with their own version of the infamous
McLaren F-duct device that stalls the rear wing at high speeds.

Pioneered by McLaren, the innovation, where air is allowed to pass through the car and onto the rear wing by the movement of the drivers' knee, was declared legal on McLaren's
MP4-25 in Bahrain two weeks ago.
Basically, the system works by 'stalling' the efficiency of the downforce-producing rear wing, thereby producing more straight-line speed when the car is not cornering.
