You, legitimately, just described the crux of my professional life! I'm the guy that gets in the ring to fight that fight!FWandE wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 13:17You make a good point but I worked for 35 years in University research departments. Lots of very smart people were guilty of "inside the box" thinking and sometimes found it difficult to step back and rethink the bigger picture for a new/radical & better solution.Emag wrote: ↑23 Feb 2022, 12:55Its baffling how people just assume a whole team of engineers "just forgot" to put an undercut on the car.
Guys, everything you see on all cars is backed by enourmous amount of R&D, plus a lot of very smart people.
If you see something implemented a certain way on a car, then it is implemented that way because it was deemed as the most optimal solution by the aforementioned team of people.
Of the current crop of F1 cars Ferrari seem to have the most "outside the box" package, but will it be fast? First timings I've seen suggest it might be but it is very early days.
I love Ferraris solution. Let's hope it works a treat!
