What is the "F-duct" and why was it banned?
The "F-duct" was an ingenious aerodynamic system introduced by McLaren in 2010. It allowed drivers to alter the airflow over the car’s rear wing by closing a small vent in the cockpit. When the driver activated the F-duct (by blocking an airflow duct with their leg or hand), it effectively reduced drag on the rear wing, increasing top speed on straights. This gave the car a temporary speed boost, particularly in overtaking zones. However, the system was banned after 2011 because it was deemed an illegal "driver aid," as it required drivers to control the airflow manually during the race, which went against the spirit of F1’s goal of minimizing driver intervention in car setup.
