Because the cars evolve and will have more downforce next year and it will be even more difficult to contain it just by raising the ride height... hence a permanent solution is needed for the future
Or the cars evolve in a way that increases downforce whilst withing the 'safety limits'. Entirely possible. Look at the red bull. Probably the most detailed car on the grid in terms of aero.
Would be interesting to see what their sensors are reporting in terms of other teams such as mclaren.
Redbull have much more going on under the skin which no one knows... their uniqueness is the entire package, can't expect every team to have those unless redbull shows everyone what they r doing...with the current rules every team expect redbull will have porposing and bouncing getting worse and worse whenever they add more downforce...
Unless in the fia team meetings redbull gives out their secret, there is only other solution is to give freedom to the suspension rules... that's the best way to tackle it for 4 years of evolution of these rules... the experts on the Internet are eluding to the fact that this is the change that's going to come... no matter how we discuss it here won't change their decision
That sounds a bit silly really. Why should Red Bull share the secret to their success? They have the knowledge, manpower and technical expertise to come up with a design in the rules that works very well. Thats not for Redbull to offer their secret out is it? Thats a bit like a penalty shootout at the world cup final, but the player telling the goalkeeper exactly where they are going to kick the ball to ensure they save it.
Other teams need to work harder. Fact.
As I said before, and others....Why should the rules change because a small number of teams cant design a good concept that is competitive within the regulations, and safety margins that are going to be introduced.
It was Mercedes who campaigned for this change, and they should suck it up. They asked. They got, just not exactly what they were wanting to get.
I bet a dollar that all your Mercedes drivers tomorrow will come up with this being a stupid rule and that stuff like active suspension should be brought in. They will still find a way to bring the TD into a bad light. I bet on it. "this new safety directive is going to make our car much slower".
When this gets asked tomorrow in press conferences/interviews...just bear it in your mind when they are answering...who were the ones complaining about safety, and needing a rule in place. Then laugh at the answers they give.
Mess with the Bull - you get the horns.
