Perhaps, but these articles and tweets have disappeared. Presumably a misquote?
edit - okay disregard that it's back online now - weird!
I know it’s far too soon for this kind of talk but…
A combination of both.
Sorry for asking but you do know the “custard-like” suspension was an April Fools joke don’t you?

Based on Newey's interview, it looks like is more a matter of how the downforce is produced at different speeds; a sort of aero-mapping, if I am not using the term wrong. Red Bull was able to design a floor (and a whole car) which reduces porpoising by not increasing excessively the downforce when the floor lowers. I would assume that other teams, Mercedes in particular, failed to do this.
why should Newey explain opponents whats going on and give some hints? Obviously he is not telling the whole truth...matteosc wrote: ↑03 May 2022, 16:04Based on Newey's interview, it looks like is more a matter of how the downforce is produced at different speeds; a sort of aero-mapping, if I am not using the term wrong.

Charles, is that you?
I believe it's a possibility, under the last set of regs teams would aim for stalling after certain speeds, increasing straight line speed.matteosc wrote: ↑03 May 2022, 16:04Based on Newey's interview, it looks like is more a matter of how the downforce is produced at different speeds; a sort of aero-mapping, if I am not using the term wrong.
