Well Mike if they did it would appear to be the only concession to downforce they made with the car, save for its inherent flying wedge design. How unsophisticated does it look compared to today's complicated F1 cars? Yet, how quick was it? Too quick for the entrenched Indy powerbrokers obviously. Can't have a Brit designer and driver upsetting the status quo, STP logos notwithstanding.
