Motorsport commentator Dr Obbs argues that two successive Formula 1 regulation sets have followed the same pattern: teams initially arrive with a single design featuring a pronounced mid-line undercut on the front wing, then evolve toward a reduced undercut once the season develops. He suggests this points to a shared early difficulty controlling front tyre downstream wake, with aerodynamic understanding maturing as teams refine their concepts over time.
