Ferrari technical boss Aldo Costa has played down suggestions the team’s F-duct solution is dangerous.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is believed the cars driven by both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa are still fitted with the downforce-spoiling innovation on Saturday following Friday’s practice tests.<\/p>\n
But unlike McLaren’s system which is believed to be activated by the drivers’ knees, the rumour in Barcelona is that Alonso and Massa – like the Sauber drivers – are triggering the airflow on the straights with their left hand.<\/p>\n
Often at the same time, the drivers are using their right hand to then make adjustments to the brake balance.<\/p>\n
“As you know, drivers are trained to use several systems in the car,” said Costa.\u00a0 “They normally use the front flap adjuster, they normally use brake balance.<\/p>\n
“Last year they used the KERS system, so they can also use the F-duct with no big issues,” he insisted.<\/p>\n
