BMW Sauber F1.08, Monaco, May 2008
Willy Rampf: "Monaco demands maximum downforce. This means that parts are used where the aerodynamic efficiency is not particularly good, but which generate additional downforce. That is the circuit with the lowest average speed and downforce therefore has maximum priority there. We used the front wing with maximum downforce potential. The modified synchroniser retainer plates with the top deflectors combine with the flap to exert significant influence on the flow of air around the front tyres. There was also a small T-wing for more downforce on the so-called batman in front of the rear wheels. The rear wing with the steepest wing position and maximum tread pressure was used. This was also mounted over central supports on the gearbox. We used rim covers in a modified version for the first time, which also generated additional downforce."
