I'm not sure .. I think it's more of an aero problem than a chassis -> pullrod problem. I think so because ferrari's main problems when they went for pullrods were because of the small angle of their pullrod. They couldn't introduce more angle to it due to regulations. That isn't the case now, RBR pullrod looks like its got more angle than some of the push rods on the field. It looks like a good design.GioKer32 wrote: ↑27 Mar 2022, 00:13https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/upl ... -29-12.jpg
I'd like to highlight what in my opinion is the worst problem of the RB18 right now: the front pull rod.
Obviously it allowed the engineers to reduce the weight of the suspension arms and lower the CoG of the whole front corner of the car, however, I believe it is not suitable to generate enough heat on the front tires. This shows at turn 1-2 when Max had massive understeer and could barely stay near the apex. On top of that, I remember that back in 2015 Ferrari had similar problems with that same philosophy (just look at Monaco GP after the SC, when Seb lost about 5 seconds because of low temperature on front tires). What do you think of this? Every comment is well accepted.
Also, there was talk in the paddock of how RB have got a good rear, but they haven't got enough front to balance it. It's front aero performance they always had to find since testing and they did it. I'm guessing they'll balance it out with future upgrades. More worrying for you should be the Honda engine/fuel problem.
