My thoughts exactly.
I’m fully expecting them to raise the car in FP3 and all of a sudden be half a second a lap slower.
Different setup, they're probably running more ride height, that's what testing is for, finding the limitsVenturiation wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 22:10Why is the plank not scratching like the test?

It was the same way on Russell's hot laps today around 29 minutes remaining in session when front wing cam was shown.Shrieker wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 01:56This must be from testing.HungarianRacer wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 23:45[Timestamped] Great look at the fourth flap of the front wing....

I gotta say though, the car balance lools good in that video. Much pointier than last year and it responds well to the steering inputs. Looking good for the race if they can do that and keep good tyre deg.Venturiation wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 22:10Why is the plank not scratching like the test?

In the case of the current trend of wishbone axes (upper and lower--not just either one in isolation) inclined with rear leg below the forward leg, the W15 configuration with the rear leg of the upper WB set at its lower position will tend to increase the anti-dive effect. This is because the upper wishbone pivot axis will intersect the lower wishbone pivot axis higher up on its downward trajectory.ivansskoro wrote: ↑29 Feb 2024, 23:56
AFAIK no, from what I’ve read online about suspension design — moving the rear mounting point upwards increases the anti-dive.
The fact they didn't design in adjustability at the rear for anti-squat (reaction to thrust load at axle height) or anti-rise (reaction to braking loads at the contact patch) doesn't mean they have not considered these or designed in their effects--they just didn't design in adjustability, either because they understand what the have, or have no room for multiple pick-ups with the existing suspension configuration.atanatizante wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 18:08One could question why they didn't do the same trick at the rear suspension as they did at the front one ... or just anti-squat effect is not so important on the F1 car as it is on the slower single-seater formulas? then how about the rear tyre management due to the anti-squat setup, could you please enlighten us with some info ...
They do seem uncertain of outcome dont they, hence the potential to change built in.ing. wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 05:28The fact they didn't design in adjustability at the rear for anti-squat (reaction to thrust load at axle height) or anti-rise (reaction to braking loads at the contact patch) doesn't mean they have not considered these or designed in their effects--they just didn't design in adjustability, either because they understand what the have, or have no room for multiple pick-ups with the existing suspension configuration.atanatizante wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 18:08One could question why they didn't do the same trick at the rear suspension as they did at the front one ... or just anti-squat effect is not so important on the F1 car as it is on the slower single-seater formulas? then how about the rear tyre management due to the anti-squat setup, could you please enlighten us with some info ...
Why they designed-in adjustability at the front is a bit of a mystery as no one else has. Maybe they don't have a good understanding of the dynamics and need to test it on track. It is well known that anti-dive reduces compliance to bumps as well as driver steering feel under braking.
It's quite common to get a bit of burning at the leading edge, especially when the titanium glows.mendis wrote: ↑01 Mar 2024, 09:22That plank is on fire! Or is that some kind of sensor?
