Yup.. used to work with the JPS Lotus team... Real familiar with F1. The 
wings on the F1 are strictly for downforce, not drag reduction. F1 cars 
are as aerodynamic as a brick. They are going for downforce.  Also Did 
work in the Aviation field, a lot of leading edges of plane wings are 
hollow, (looped)...why..?? To create DRAG for lower take off and landing 
speeds...
