Aston Martin AMR26

[mzso]

If you look at onboards from the Bahrain test there's no visible clue of steering wheel vibrations. You'd see some effect in the fabric of the gloves. I'm calling this out as BS.

Really... You can only see large amplitude vibrations.

Under the nose of #AstonMartin, it's interesting to see how on the underside of the foot plate there are removable metal plates (I think titanium or aluminum).
A very linear FW Strake (pic2).

Interesting details.

Spot the updates? (Melbourne Wednesday)

Longbows top and bottom. The halo standoff is very apparent. Their much-lower front chassis height is one of the more significant features seen on all of the cars this year.

edit, nevermind it's a longbow in another picture of this topic, but where is the steering rack? Does it share the fairing?

Aston Martin has a very rearward position of the differential/drive shaft.

The Aston Martin is running the largest cooling exits by a long way. IT's strange because they are reportedly running 100hp down on an already very limited PU. Why do they need this much cooling?

OTOH their intake size is one of the smallest in the field. I think they are trying to create suction to pull air through the system, instead of pushing it in through bigger intakes. Alpine appears to have the opposite philosophy.

Do you really think they will reduce the cooling because they can with their PU issues? They don't plan to run many laps anyway.

New Mclaren-esque approach to the Floorboard. Only team to run the first smaller element behind the second one, maybe trying to make it interact with the flow of the 2 strakes behind the FB and the indentation. All the other teams have it angled outwards.

No louvers for the race on either car.

The engine is a pump, so it will be sucking in air at a huge rate. I don’t think they are doing anything other than getting more cooling for the engine and ancillaries.

From the images I see here, it appears that:

The top part of the roll hoop is the air intake for the ICE. It has its own pump called a compressor that sucks in air and forces it into the ICE through a radiator, and that air exits through the exhaust.

The lower part of the roll hoop seems to keep air outside the car, with no entrance.

Air from the sidepods goes through the radiators and exits through the flaps, which sometimes have louvers. There is also a 5–6 cm diameter entrance from the sidepods to under the PU cover to create airflow there.

The battery has its own cooling system, but I have no idea if it has its own radiator and or where that radfiator might be.

I presume it’s possible there is an entrance from the sidepods to the monocoque area, where the battery sits, to allow air to flow through there.

Most of the cooling exits are pulling air through the radiators, and then internal flow comes up around the engine and out of the exits.
