Binotto has now said there will not be a new ERS in Miamisaviour stivala wrote: ↑29 Apr 2022, 22:24Re FERRARI speculation gains by ICE and ERS to be introduced in Miami. I do not mean to say that gains from both are not possible because gains from both might very much be possible. But what is being claimed (horsepower numbers as well as lap times) was not indorsed/confirmed by FERRARI. The only thing from FERRARI officially was that ‘’both drivers will have full power unit power output available at Miami’’. Which might well mean that at the first four races the ICE was was not ran at its full power output potential. On the ICE power unit part the claimed extra power push-out is being contributed to the power unit having reached the targets of maximum reliability, the planed seventh long run on the test bench without encountering serious reliability problems. If this claim is correct it means that FERRARI went into the season done four races with a power unit not yet validated on the test bed. Something very hard to believe. But it can be that FERRARI went into the first four races with at least the ICE not at full output potential. On FERRARI FANS site it is being claimed that Sainz’s number one ICE will resume to its FP1 –FP2 race weekends services.

If this is the trick, it's crazy that it's taken Ferrari, and Mercedes still seem lost in the weeds, so long to run it. That RB floor has been doing the rounds since Bahrain.GrrG wrote: ↑01 May 2022, 20:17Ferrari: the skate under the bottom is anti porpoising

Not too sure of the rules but could they not claim the primary purpose being structural strength?Stu wrote: ↑02 May 2022, 10:53It is not “the trick”, in fact if this skate edge is designed to run on the floor intentionally during straight line running it falls foul of the rules regarding sprung parts of the car being in contact with the track*. The real secret lies in a combination of factors to do with both the floor concept and suspension concepts.
The skate is shaped as it is such that it complies with the floor-edge-wing part of the regulations.
* which is why there were hurried rules written to allow (and then define) the tension struts connecting the chassis and floor that some teams are using - essentially they have to, otherwise the cars would be deemed to be operating outside the rules.
That seems to be the implication. Though I'm a tad doubtful of these claim. How would they even assess reliability accurately if they don't run it at full power?saviour stivala wrote: ↑29 Apr 2022, 13:06Any horse power gain from the ICE can only result if the ICE was run below its maximum output potential.
