    The trouble with Aero is the bubbles, especially in the peppermint flavoured one, although the Aero mousse is nice

    Bubbles can act like little vortex generators thus working the air harder by keeping it attached to the boundry layer

    I think if F1 really wanted to make a difference in 2021 then it should go with ground effect cars with active, a total new concept to learn for most aero guys, ok Newey was there during the williams active days but he won't be around forever, something new to learn for all these new generation of aerodynamasists who weren't around when we first had ground effects

    Bernie is long gone now, made a mint and now making brazillian coffee on his farm, good riddance i say though I'm still unsure about liberty media, Ross Brawn is ok but he's just a puppet and does as he's told

    Good riddance now, but without Bernie F1 would still be run out of places like Brian Henton's garage in Donington

    Not necessarily a bad thing but agree he did professionalise the whole sport, the days of a few blokes in oily smocks building an f1 car.....ah those were the glory days

    The aforementioned Superhen was one of the last of the line of true 'garagistas', he literally ran his bodged up Marches and Ensigns out of his garage - and his efforts in getting the Toleman TG181 'General Belgrano' onto the grid in '81 was pure madness. I thought he'd cut himself in two when he crashed at Silverstone, what a geezer

    So there we have it, it's official it's a redbull Honda from next season, I like the crafty 2 year deal(insurance policy) they've factored in just in case Honda build a dog for the 2021 engine rule change
