I've quoted 2 sources that state it was raised. I've seen it raise on video while the presenters commented on it. I watched on F1 decade now that I think of it.
Karun was the Williams heritage driver. Maybe someone could ask him on Twitter?
You didn't quote two sources - one of your "quoted" sources was already dead when the race you refer to happened. James Hunt died in June 93. Silverstone was in Juli 93. But anyway - think by yourself. It makes no sense. The button, and there was one, lowered the rear of the car. Less frontal area, less rearwing AoA, stalled diffuser --> much less drag, more topspeed. The other way around you have more drag, less topspeed. The FW15c constantly changed its ride height front to rear to eliminate over or understeer. So - what you have seen on TV was either this or for more rake. But not push to pass
But i think now we should go back to the RB18.
Bro. Just because it makes no sense to you doesn't mean it wasn't done. I literally give zero care to what you "think". I only care what you can "prove". I've quoted 2 articles that agree with me. That's more valuable to the question than your "feeling".
I thought this was s technical forum, not an "I don't get it, so I'll change history to match my incompetence" meet up.
Ok. Just to make sure:
So you call me, Giorgio Piola and Marc Hughes and carisi2k incompetent? And i also have to add Paddy Lowe, who was the engineer who developed the electronics for this car. You call all of us incompetent? And something you watched on a video and you maybe misinterpreted(as there were many reasons why the FW15 raised its rear) and someone you do not know(like i said - Hunt was already dead)know more valueable? Is that correct? Are you seriously doing that?
I advise you to take a look at the picture of the floor of the Red Bull on this page. Look who has drawn it. The same one who publishes books with technical analyses about F1 cars for many decades and who has access to the cars. Giorgio Piola. So i ask you again - incompetent? Are you serious?
And yes this is a technical forum. And in a technical forum technical arguements count. You obviously are not able to do that, but call other people who can incompetent. I would rather call someone who cannot explain how a system works incompetent. But anyway - this is a technical forum, so please explain "history" to us and tell us how this system reduced drag by stalling the diffuser while increasing frontal area and rearwing AoA at the same time. I am sure many of us are very interested how its possible to change physics. So before you get personal and zynical (what looks like - "i cannot explain and i am not able to argue, so l am getting personal and abusive), i would suggest to provide arguements and a technical explaination rather than constantly calling a possibly misinterpreted video and an unknown source "valueable" only. I assume next to the technical worth if the content, your approach is also a reason for why your posts got downvoted.
