The regulations only state that a single damper unit per wheel is allowed (so a maximum of four),it doesn’t state the modes that they can operate on.skwdenyer wrote: ↑07 Mar 2024, 18:57Give the claim of F1 to be a technical pinnacle, and how relatively cheap they are to deploy, I really don’t understand why hydraulic interconnections were banned.Venturiation wrote: ↑06 Mar 2024, 19:07Even if the car is stable max says the bouncing is too violent
James Allison has said before that even if the redbull looks stable the drivers are suffering amd it's because these regulations are mistake in terms of suspensions
In a ground effect era, separating suspension modes is precisely what’s needed. Because trying to chase aero solutions will be far, far more expensive.
Some cars are using very high amounts of ARB spring to almost remove that mode from the equation (the opposed diagonal connection from one side to the other then essentially is only operating in single wheel bump), then a linear damper connection from side to side is controlling pitch/heave.
The number of springs doesn’t suffer the same limitation.
