The weather conditions expected for the British GP are a cause for concern. Miguel Oliveira stressed the danger of wind gusts and how aerodynamics can actually worsen the situation in these scenarios.<\/p>\n
\u2018Over 40k I think so. I tell you that for us really really hard, especially when you have this type of flowing. One lap you can go on the track and the other lap you\u2019re out. And then the adding that slipstreams on bikes on the side of you, in front of you\u2019, he warned.<\/p>\n
When asked if aerodynamics helped or worsened the effects of the wind, he was clear: \u2018They make it worse, because everything is downforce related, so you\u2019re leaning the bike expecting one thing, and you have a wind gust that basically shifts the bike sideways\u2019.<\/p>\n
Regarding the possibility of removing the aero packages, as allowed at Phillip Island, he explained: \u2018I don\u2019t think\u2026 it\u2019s very hard to regulate that also because it\u2019s up to the manufacturers. And then it\u2019s not just taking the wings off, you know. It\u2019s tricky to then fill up the holes. Technically, it\u2019s not just, okay, I\u2019m taking the wing off, and it\u2019s not that simple\u2019.<\/p>\n
Oliveira pointed out that adaptation in such cases is complex and should not be taken lightly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The weather conditions expected for the British GP are a cause for concern.
