Interesting to see Toyota's new front wing thing this weekend. Glock needed a new front wing, and the new one came on a jack and clipped onto the car in a matter of seconds. Pretty impressive stuff. Nose changes were supposed to longer this year. The pit stop was only about 10 seconds. Thats saving them around 5 or 7 seconds. Forget pit stop lights, that's genius.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised this didn't get more posts on here. It was very cool how they did it (why nobody else has come up with something like that a long time ago beats me).
You can bet your smooth baby bum that within a couple of races every team down the pitlane will have a similar nose trolley

I think it's the way the new front wings are this year - the gap in the middle means that there's a smaller piece for the trolley to grab on to. In years gone by, there would have been no gap here, so it would've been more difficult to implement such a thing. That's how I look at it, anyway.

Don't you think they could have designed their trolleys around that?

Possibly. But without seeing the under-side of various front wings from previous years, I would not be able to say.

Well, I for one, having followed F1 for a while now, am convinced almost nothing is impossible for them if they think it's worth their while and money
