Theoretically In 2009 will F1 cars be able to drive in the rain without a front wing?

Question

As far as i'm aware the downforce available from front and rear wings will be significantly reduced for the 2009 season

Answer 1

Theoretically, they can run without wings right now. I wouldn't want to see the results. They are reducing downforce, not eliminating it. Even a simple flat, single plane wing can generate a bunch of downforce. The IRL cars are a great example.

A whole grid of buzz bombs!

Yeah a lot of aero pieces will be missing in 2009 but in some form, there will be front and rear wings, unlike the Arrows A2!

Answer 3

In Theory, at race speeds no.

At greatly reduced speeds ie under 40mph, yes, in a straight line.
