i doubt that it is particularly hard, but given the cost cap, teams will have to weigh whether its worthy of upgrade compared to other things. and im sure there are other pretty fancy designs rolling around the paddock too.

It's basically trying ti bring back the effect of the old, complicated but very effective rear brake ducts that were banned in recent times.
Thanks, this was helpful. Using helmet view I was able to read out what's written on this white button:
It was mentioned by Valterri Bottas that the Mercedes PU was much more "automatic" in its deployment operation. Perhaps that is to the detriment of Alonso.Juzh wrote: ↑12 Mar 2023, 21:13Thanks, this was helpful. Using helmet view I was able to read out what's written on this white button:

I'm fairly positive it's "K0", basically mgu-k kill switch. I've seen him using it quite often in later stages of bahrain GP, specifically in entry to T12. It looks like Alonso didn't like predefined energy deployment settings and just manually disabled mgu-k for that corner. To save tyres of course.
I wouldn't say detriment. Basically with mgu-k deploying you go too fast and either have to lift = wasted energy, or stay full throttle and have a lot of tyre scrub and burning them out sooner than necessary. I've noticed speed stays constant immediately after he presses the button.AR3-GP wrote: ↑12 Mar 2023, 21:17It was mentioned by Valterri Bottas that the Mercedes PU was much more "automatic" in it's deployment operation.

I thought you could change mgu-k deployment on the fly? That it wasn't part of a map.Juzh wrote: ↑12 Mar 2023, 21:23I wouldn't say detriment.

edit.
ok, now I get you, you mean ICE map? No, energy deployment isn't part of it, but it looks like mercedes didn't program a suitable automatic deployment plan in this case.
I've seen alpha tauri drivers also use this tactic in the past many times. On honda engines it's called "anti-deploy". Interestingly I've never seen or heard red bull drivers use it.
The upper A-arm is rather high up; has Dan Fallows brought longbow thing to Aston Martin?
I believe so.
