Aston Martin AMR26

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

In the pit lane in Hungary. Still some rake, maybe a bit less.

As a photographer myself this picture is not really a good example as it is taken from below and using a wide angle lens so it is making the gap and the rear of the car wider and more prominent. The best would be a side pic of the car, still in front of the garage from the data/screens Pit Wall.

But good try.

Agreed, tried to find some shots directly from the side.
Eyeballing the rear floor edge height from the pavement in front of the rear tire, though, and comparing to the 18 inch rim (not with tire, 45.7cm), looks like around maybe 10-12cm at the back there? But obviously for rake you also need the front bib height, which might also be high in static conditions.

Here is a more side-on shot, but a bit dark:

To me the rake seems minimal, but the ride-height rather high. (Or I just didn't get used to these new cars yet)

Very elegant upgrades.

The theme at the front is efficiency. To make more from less. You can see how some vanes, flaps and buldges were replaced by simpler surfaces, better positioned or outright deleted.

Typical Adrian Newey. =D>

Too me you haven't got 2 really good pictures to compare.
