I won't call any team big or small, but faster teams copying slower cars happens all the time, just look at how many aero devices from McLaren were copied by other teams over the last few years. It's just that the faster cars are better all around, rather than having one or two clever devices and a dog of a car everywhere else.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑20 Oct 2018, 10:24So Renualt had the right concept there. Sometimes the big teams learn from the small ones.
Lol I'm thankful they wait this far in the season to introduce the insane numbers of elements... I thought modelling just the 6 was enough
Actually the only thing that they reverted back to pre Singapore is the McLaren Endplates RW. Ofc we don't know about changes under the hood.bosyber wrote: ↑21 Oct 2018, 19:07Didn't really feel that was likely, but just heard RTL Germany say 'Ferrari more or less went back to how they ran the car at the end of June, in Hockenheim' woah, I guess they didn't have time to go more fine grained, but that shows quite a shocking amount of development gone wrong if so!
Anyway, hope they know where they made the mistake, and that the new floor which got too little testing this weekend will soon deliver some extra improvements, to at the least keep races interesting.
Just look at the car, the only thing that was there and is now missing is the McLaren Style RW endplates. Or am I missing something? Maybe they are talking about changes to the suspension or something like that which went unnoticed in the first place.Vettel said it and Racefans reported it. As reliable as it gets. There were more changes like the FW, turning vanes, bargeboards etcMtthsMlw wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 19:23I don't know who reported that
Sometimes you learn a lot more from mistakes. They have time to put some modifications for Abu Dhabi testing to compare all numbers and prepare for a next year. Could be something else that aero didn't work as expected, a lot of variables. But it shows how quick is Ferrari even with older specs. Too bad rules were changed for the next year, Ferrari would be probably the strongest team. Now everything is open again.
Every minute spent figuring out where it went wrong is not spent developing for next year; and it takes months on average to sort out correlation issues.zokipirlo wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 06:17Sometimes you learn a lot more from mistakes.
