Mhhh....I know I should be ashamed about making this question and consider myself someone with "moderate" knowledge of the technical aspect of motor sports but...
Why do F1 cars have high noses?? My guess would be that the high nose accelerates the air that is going to flow under the car and therefore generate a lower pressure under the car and generates a lot more downforce without generating additional drag. Am I right or should I feel ashamed??
