Watch the video from 1.18 - 1.21 , play it on 0.25 slow speed and see if you notice something, active suspension ?
The car is fairly low and parallel before braking point into the turn, as soon it's entering the braking zone , before lift off the rear suspension gets dynamic (the rear of the car stiffness and more rake is observed before the brake is applied?
I'm no mechanic or engineer , just wanted to know whats happening?
Active suspension is one of the most obviously illegal things in F1 and it would be visible the minute the car is on the track. Why would Ferrari even bother spending money on it?
Maybe they mean “some clever mechanical solution that creates the effect of active suspension”? Still, I don’t see it personally.
What struck me is how good the change of direction seemed. Sometimes I think there’s an impact of the handheld mobile camera conferring a sense of speed that doesn’t come across in the high quality broadcasts (which tbh isn’t great but totally separate conversation) - so we can take it with a pinch of salt - but the car did appear pretty nimble.
The thing I think I can say with most confidence is that it doesn’t look like a car with any fundamental issues, which is great news for a shakedown.
