It's a brilliant move from Williams actually. Distract her so she stops interfering in the running of the team!

I suppose this would make Lance Stroll the Charlie Sheen in Major League of F1? And the 2020 pink Mercedes is the pair of glasses that will allow him to master his powers and dominate the sport with unprecedented trap speeds?

not quite two-axis, but Scarbs' guess is that it can actuate rockers and impact the front toe.

It's not faked. He did for couple of laps, most of them putting a telemetry marker when using it. Seemed like he pulls it before a straight, and pushes it back before a slow corner. He stopped after the videos popped up everywhere. I can only assume F1 worldfeed noticed it, because they showed a lot of his onboards for couple of laps instead of showing the rest of the field.

e: oh, just saw the twitter post...yeah, that's what he did ;)

Is there any reason that can't modify the brake bias at the same time? AFAIK the rule states it has to be a manual driver adjustment and you can't have presets?

When I saw the movement and made sure my eyes/camera angle weren't playing tricks on me, that was the first thing I assumed. But since he changes it the same amount of travel each time, I started to doubt it, as brake bias is changed couple of clicks before most cornes, not "55:45" to "51:49" on a regular basis (since the travel is quite big). It took me a while though to notice the front axle change. I wouldn't rule it out, though. But I haven't seen him go into a corner with the wheel pulled, so I assume he puts front axle geometry back to normal before braking. Sadly, he stopped doing it once everyone saw it :/

Like the Renault mass damper, it doesn't need to actually be breaking any rules to get banned if someone manages to twist the wording of a rule enough.

tuo
Jun 17, 2016

I assume the same. If it actually is worth couple of tenths per lap, it will be banned, as other teams can't easily replicate it.

Apparently Mercedes just confirmed that this is not for testing, but a system they will race, and it adjusts the toe and ride height of the front axle.

I imagine Mercedes know it isn't rulebreaking, but will be banned. Otherwise they'd have saved it 'til next year. Its an extremely obvious system, the other teams will protest it but can't just sit around in the meantime so they'll all start trying to replicate it, fail (in the case of ferrari) claim they're leaving the sport if it isn't banned and Mercedes will say "fine we'll take it off" having exploited the benefits for several races and drained a huge amount of competitor's resources. Peak F1 basically: when you're ahead, get more ahead

It's the sort of thing you can experiment with when you're already ahead in a year where nothing matters because it's all change next year
