I think it tallies, kinda. When the Alfa is doing well and in higher midfield positions; the Aston is in place to score minor points. When the Alfa is not, such as Australia, neither is the Aston

Foam can't be all that rigid. I don't know why it is there, but perhaps it helps in the layering up/moulding process (speed/cost), and isn't all too dense with weight penalty.JordanMugen wrote: ↑09 May 2022, 01:34An interesting thing from the Vettel-Schumacher Miami crash is seeing how there is almost a kind of "foam core" in the middle of the Aston Martin floor, almost like the sandwich construction of the monocoque or one of the wings. The foam sandwich must be necessary to get the desired rigidity?
I agree. I think it's also encouraging to see that the Merc engine is not so much of an issue, with lower ride height and a lower DF setup the car can match RB in straight line speed probably.collindsilva wrote: ↑10 May 2022, 11:28Seems there is quite a potential on the current concept if they can solve the issue of porposing. Currently the ride height seems very high in comparison to other cars.
I have the same feeling.raymondu999 wrote: ↑11 May 2022, 18:02Yes these B-spec rumors seem to be making the rounds. Some claiming Ferrari bathtub sidepods, some claiming RB type sidepods.
Perhaps if true, the RB route would be wiser given Dan Fallows. No?
Agreed — the previous experience will be more relevant if only slightly. Added to that Fallows would probably push in that direction; and he could potentially give insighrs as to how they did certajn stuff with the current RB which would be relevant if they were to head in that directionNAPI10 wrote: ↑11 May 2022, 19:31I have the same feeling.raymondu999 wrote: ↑11 May 2022, 18:02Yes these B-spec rumors seem to be making the rounds.

Before coping Merc in 20; team followed RB's aero philosophy. Most probable they will go on RB's route with Fallows on board.
All the teams do this. I believe it's for weight.F1doc wrote: ↑09 May 2022, 08:41Foam can't be all that rigid.
