Looks like they are going for a lower downforce(and drag) front wing to make the rear end less loose and increase top speed.
This is not the "big update", it is just a revision to help the car handle a bit better in austria pt2. Binnoto has long said that they wouldn't get much until at least Hungary.AMG.Tzan wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 16:01Classic aero development in our days!
"We will bring a huge update, we will take a whole new development direction"
Updates come...just minor wing changes that apparently have HUGE effect on the car!
Gone are the days of B-spec cars with totally new sidepods, wings and noses!
Anyway...hopefully that's not Ferrari's only aero development, because i don't see them going any higher than 5th fastest car for the next 2 years (2020-2021). And Renault is not far behind...
Nothing said either way...Xwang wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 19:48On the Italian press there was a rumour that the gearbox was not stiff enough torsionally during pre season test and that a reinforced one would be introduced.
The gearbox now is omologated and it is not clear if it is the newer (more rigid) one.
Does anyone have news about it?
I find it very hard to believe as well that that nose concept is the better one when all other teams seem to be going towards a slim nose, but then again the actual wing part of the nose can be detached from the nosecone, so maybe they could only fast track the wing and not the nose. We'll see in Hungary, I guess...
On his onboards the car looked horrible.ScrewCaptain27 wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 19:35Vettel is now saying he had brake and suspension (damper) issues during the race.
He also said on the radio that the car was much worst than on FP.nacho wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 00:42On his onboards the car looked horrible.ScrewCaptain27 wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 19:35Vettel is now saying he had brake and suspension (damper) issues during the race.
True, i was watching his onboard 10 laps in a row (F1TV). He was sliding into the hard breaking corners 1&2 like on ice. He was all over the place in the infield high speed corners and had to catch his rear almost every lap. Complete mess....nacho wrote: ↑10 Jul 2020, 00:42On his onboards the car looked horrible.ScrewCaptain27 wrote: ↑09 Jul 2020, 19:35Vettel is now saying he had brake and suspension (damper) issues during the race.
