It must be for aerodynamic reasons. I dont think teams can improve the suspensions a lot, without changeing the inboard suspensions*, and just by moving a wishbone
Mercedes had their suspension layout for aerodynamic reasons, not because of mechanical grip.Racer X wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021, 06:21Edit*** sorry guys i had not read anything about the car yet.
I only watched the YouTube video from RedBull over and over and it seems they did infact change the rear end suspension. Edit*****
Okey so I can see a change in the geometry of the suspension something similar to the Mercedes of 2020 so I'm guessing this will help the car be more stable when it comes to Mechanical grip. That said I wonder if this has been done with input from Sergio. This should make Max even faster if he doesn't need to fight with the car as much when exiting a corner. It should help them have a balanced rear end.
Perez mentioned early on talks with Adrian about the next year car already. I thought it was just propaganda but I see they adapted a Mercedes like suspension. WOW he brought his insight with him definitely. It's going to be nice to see Max and Perez with a balanced car. This is good for Max they weren't lying when they said Perez helps a lot with car development because of the type of feedback he gives. Wow....
Well it seems they managed to do it so im guessing they either did use 2 tokens or magically did it in a way that does not use 2 tokens.
Yes he did they had the old set up from 2019 at the start of the season but they got upgrades during the midseason. So hes been driving that for a while.
The change in the wishbone layout was aero, but their pull-rod positioning gives a better motion ratio than the extreme forward angle on the Red Bull. How much this translates to mechanical grip I don’t know, but I’d expect it to be easier to manage if more difficult to package.
That's interesting!

They used the two tokens to modify the Gbox carrier in order to change the wishbones pickup points and angles for aero reasons, most probably.Racer X wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021, 10:46Well it seems they managed to do it so im guessing they either did use 2 tokens or magically did it in a way that does not use 2 tokens.
Scarbs thinks this is their new layoutgodlameroso wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021, 03:36Last pic, if you pay attention, you see where the wastegates are.Morteza wrote: ↑23 Feb 2021, 13:12https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eu6CSd8WYAE ... ame=medium

If we assume that the wishbones have a finite stiffness constant, there will inevitibly be some forward/rearward deformation when the wheel either wants to go forward in relation to the car (acceleration) or rearward (braking).henry wrote: ↑24 Feb 2021, 11:22The change in the wishbone layout was aero, but their pull-rod positioning gives a better motion ratio than the extreme forward angle on the Red Bull.
