When Marshall was announced Red Bull said that he was not included in development of F1 car for a while now (I think at least no part in RB19 and RB20).SilviuAgo wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 10:26Reading some articles regarding Mercedes and RB struggle from the last races, a question raised on one comment and I want to discuss it also with you.
Is clear that RB has a major issue riding kerbs, and that was probably the main reason that last year they didn't won all the races . And the "guilty" part of the car was indicated to be the suspension. And now comes the question saw on https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/max- ... baijan-gp/ : "Who designed the horrible Red Bull suspension?"
It wasn't Rob Marshall the RB expert on suspensions? And if so, did he had some involvement in RB design for "23 and '24 or he already was out due to McLaren switch (in January '24)?
I am putting this question because McLaren, together with Ferrari, seems to have the best suspensions, and is strange RB to struggle so badly for this.
Unless they think testing or regulation.may directly or indirectly harm them more that just knocking it on the head without any need for official clarification or tests.chrisc90 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 10:30Nobody will go out their way to ‘offer’ to change a part on a car that they are certain complies to all regulation. Only way you would ‘offer to change’ it is you know it’s a grey area and you’ve been found out, or the FIA had had a chat with you and said we going to ban this with a technical directive/ or goes against one already in place.
This makes sense. Tks for reply.FittingMechanics wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 11:04When Marshall was announced Red Bull said that he was not included in development of F1 car for a while now (I think at least no part in RB19 and RB20).SilviuAgo wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 10:26Reading some articles regarding Mercedes and RB struggle from the last races, a question raised on one comment and I want to discuss it also with you.

Btw Vcarb is running that "awful" suspension and doing well in FP1 and FP2. It is likely that it is not just the suspension, more likely that their Red Bull aero forces them to run super stiff or low and suspension can't cope.
They see which way the wind is blowing. The third brake pedal was legal, before they made it illegal. That didn't make the car retroactively illegal.chrisc90 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 10:30Nobody will go out their way to ‘offer’ to change a part on a car that they are certain complies to all regulation.

If i looked Piastri’s time i would say it is normal fp3 engine mode. It is when Norris feels the car and the circuit. It reminds me of Spa 2021. I hope it will end as pole position.Emag wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 12:26Lando is just on rails at the moment. Not sure if they're showing a bit more than others with engine modes, but I am really annoyed with Oscar being 8 tenths off. That is not acceptable if it remains in qualifying. If the car is good, they have to lock out the front row.
