A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
Well well, very nicely spotted by scarbs! Back to something we and ferrari tried to master before, but not really succeeded with. But maybe this new era fits better and the technology now allows better, i dont know.
After listening to James Alisons usual great stuff, about some will go very wrong with the new car, and thats not what im saying! It just made me reflect on his thoughts. Im quessing with this new era you could approach it differently. Either full attack mode, going all in, with bold choices and with the risk of falling very hardly, throwing away a year, or going a bit conservative, chosing the safer general solutions, with buffer build in, to be able to implement other teams solutions… One is build with fear of falling and wanting to hit the ground running, the other from confidence, courage and the willingness to attack. Now will be interesting to see which teams follow which route. Mclaren are normally pretty bold. And with this front sus solution, they definitly seem comitted. But again, maybe nowadays its a simple thing.?

If the image that appears to show pull-rod front suspension is a view of the front of the tub from the rear it has a very unusual shape.
