Instead, the company has retooled that effort to design a lighter and more aerodynamic wing for a new aircraft.

The lack of windows makes for a lighter aircraft, Otto said, and the smoother exterior allows the plane to be more aerodynamic.

And in cooling - the car has noticeably fewer and smaller vents than others, a key advantage when every extra opening of the bodywork has a cost in aerodynamic efficiency.

If the wind is head on, it gives the car more grip, as the aerodynamics become more effective.

Hamilton would use the rise in rear ride-height during braking, and the subsequent shift in aerodynamic balance that generated more front grip, to rotate the car.
