This looks like an opportunity to do a better job?

Well, every team is trying to do a better job over the season.

I think SD was asking you to do it

I would say more of a polite nudge.

Doesn't this just eliminate the suspension at high speeds? Doesn't that cause serious drivebility/performance issues?
How is it better then a plain dumb bump stop that people keep bringing up?

It should only touch the ground during roll/cornering. The lowest parts of the floor are higher than the top side of the plank, or maybe the step plane as well, depends on how the rules are worded. Basically the plank always hits the ground first during straight running. Unless the floor flexes that same amount, in which case, it's only a bump stop for the floor edges, if that makes sense.

I saw some videos of one of the F1 cars sparking from the trailing edge of the floor on both sides.

Any horse power gain from the ICE can only result if the ICE was run below its maximum output potential.

They have done an incredible job alongside Shell coming into this E10 fuel era. This should really help increase their already very good mid speed acceleration

Which should indicate floor flex. The regs if I'm not mistaken ensure that the step plane or plank are the lowest parts of the car, but the floor is not infinitely rigid so bending will be a factor as well. Whether or not limiting floor edge bending via these ice skates helps porpoising as scarbs suggests, no comment. Regardless they're not a suspension bump stop effectively because the floors aren't meant to carry the full weight of car as a point load.

Why is this 15HP figure still going around? The power increase with PU2 will be 10HP as confirmed by Duchessa. They already increased output by 5HP in Melbourne.

Also no reliable source has corroborated the new ERS claims. Combine that with this latest article in formu1a.uno (https://www.formu1a.uno/f1-75-perche-fe ... possibile/) which claims it will be brought in "as late as possible", I highly doubt the veracity of this rumors, let alone the ~5HP reported power increase.

Spreading these baseless rumors only sets the team up for failure. Shame on Nugnes and his lot

Why would it set the team up for failure? They'll be fine.

Forgive me, I should have been clearer. I meant on the floor analysis video.

If only a day had 48 hours instead of 24... With my full-time job, all the side-projects I'm involved in and just a few spare hours for private life, no time for much more...

When people expect a 0.4s/lap improvement (based on hearsay) and only see a 0.2s improvement, they're disappointed. It puts undue pressure on the team.

I think you're massively overstating the effect of small rumors on an F1 team.

I apologize. I meant it sets the fans up for failure, not the team. I should have been clearer in my phrasing.

Private life? Luxury…..

Few spare hours a year...
