IMPORTANT INFORMATION

"As AUTO BILD MOTORSPORT learnt, it is not only the front wing that is Ferrari's secret. Similar to the Red Bull, the car is extremely heavily set. However, at the track can be observed: On the straight line, the rear lowers, only when braking does it return to its (increased) starting position.

The effect: On the straight the air resistance decreases for a better top speed, in the curves the downforce rises again by the setting. A solution like Red Bull brought to the track in 2018. But this is hardly possible with Mercedes due to the low angle of attack.
FIA technical director Jo Bauer also noticed the system. "Absolutely legal," he says. The reason: The lowering of the rear can be controlled via the spring rate and hydraulic dampers. It is not necessary to network the different axles - as is forbidden."

That’s been known about for a few years now and is nothing new. It’s why everyone went to the high rake design

Ferrari have made the rear end sit down far more than most, better than even Williams

Mercedes (the proper German team with proper engineering who deserve to win) didn't. High rake is for fake German teams like Red Bull who don't deserve to win

Ferrari actually seem to have found a way to get around the linear spring regulation. Red Bull tried it many times, making the rear suspension buckle under load, and non of that passed regulations.

Normally, I don't care that much about testing talk, but actually seeing the Ferrari popping up under braking is awesome. I haven't seen it to that effect in recent years. It seems like they found a way to make a non linear rear suspension work, and still be within the regulations.

We'll see how much it benefits them, but the effect is visible, and it looks pretty cool.

Boy this Williams thing really is intriguing, what I need now is a trusted journalist with a long history in F1 to give his take on the story so I can better understand what’s going on.

You know what? gently caress David Croft. I can't loving stand him anymore.

All of his poo poo is just SHOUTING and endless SHOUTING and more SHOUTING OH MY GOD MARTIN!

There's no subtlety no real build-up nothing genuine. Just shouting. More and more shouting.

Just relax, man. gently caress.

You know he wasn't the fastest by any means, nor really consistent, or ever found himself really contesting a full WRC season but god drat was he one of hte most flamboyant drivers of that era. Sick drifts, yo.

Then he crashed so loving hard he broke the one thing an Italian holds most valuable: his god drat face. Never really heard from him since.
