Red Bull is pretty smart. They named an F1 team after their currently failing clothing line, in the hopes to revive the sales.

I love the livery though.

Wait so, RedBull didn't find a way to adapt a zpm into their power units?

Yeah the Alpha Tauri looks really good. The Williams… does not.

A feeble push back by the F1 ownership on the shift by governments towards Electric only power plants.

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f...n/4687344/amp/

They are not wrong - but are sadly no longer the influence they used to be - and as a result ineffective. This is not to mention, a few years too late to this, and I can't think of any major technology that they've introduced in the past decade that has made it's way into the mass market vehicles on the road today.

Quote:
Formula 1 chiefs says government plans to ban the sales of new hybrid cars within the next 15 years are "crude" - as they insist the sport can be a catalyst for a revolution in environmentally-friendly engine technology.
As part of a push by governments to cut back on carbon emissions, there has been a move by many countries to outlaw the sales of new petrol, diesel and hybrid engines in the next few years - with Britain announcing recently its push for a ban to be in place by 2035.

That move has prompted questions on what direction F1 will have go in the future.

It has closely aligned itself with hybrid engines since 2014, and needs to make a decision in the next few years about where the engine rules will go beyond 2025.

But while a hybrid ban on the roads could prompt manufacturers to question whether it is worth investing in the technology for grand prix racing, F1's top figures think that hybrid solutions have plenty of offer in driving forward a better solution for the wider world.

Asked by Motorsport.com about the impact of the hybrid ban, F1 managing director of motorsport Ross Brawn said: "I don't think we necessarily know where we're going, to be honest. I think that governments need to look at the whole picture. I think we need to look at the dust-to-dust carbon impact of personal transportation.

"I think picking on a specific technology is crude. For me as an engineer it doesn't make sense. [It should be] this is where we are now, this is where we want to be, what's the best solution in that process."

They're going to freeze up with indecision and will choose short term profits over long term viability. I guarantee it.

That all black Renault, tho!



Testing livery only.

Alfa




And just because

congrats to Mercedes for winning the constructors championship title 2020 and to Hamilton for winning his seventh title, like Schumacher

Considering we're in the last year of these regulations and there's basically no change from last year's car, I'm glad we're getting to see something different and innovative. Who knows how it will shake out, but it's a nifty idea and system. For sure.

I just wish another team came up with it.

If a second brake pedal isn't okay, this shouldn't be okay either.

Except the tech and data that has come for management of li-ion in a high amperage application. Oh, efficiencies of hybrid charging has improved. Electrified turbos are finally coming to OEM applications now. Pre combustion tech is also better understood now too.

So things have changed.

"No adjustment may be made to any suspension system while the car is in motion," states Article 10.2.3 of F1's Technical Regulations

Article 10.4.1 of the technical regulations states: "Any steering system which permits the re-alignment of more than two wheels is not permitted."

A senior source at Mercedes stated this mechanism is an integral part of the car, will not be used just for testing and will be present throughout the season. According to James Allison, the FIA is and has been aware of the system, called "DAS". Considering the way these matters are handled, it will take a formal protest from another team to fully determine the system's legality.
Hamilton and Allison discussing it:

I predict it won't stand up.

Unless Merc is allowed to hide behind the "primary purpose" while the FIA ignores other aspects to the modifications benefit.

Like drag reduction down the straits. Unless active aero is ok now too.

Just like torq probably accurately predicting the outcome of the whole season. I fear further sad developments.

Red Bull may give Merc a run, though, hopefully.

They need to improve beyond their 2019 "Our car does well in weird conditions where others' fall apart" and consistently challenge for poles and wins, not pick up scraps when the others falter. Time to Alex to pull up his big boy pants and start closing the gap to Max first.

Can you speak further to this?

Why wouldn't it stand up? It's not "active". It's driver controlled, like McLaren's old f-duct thing. It requires the driver to do something mechanically. Technically the steering system is not the suspension system. Definitely a gray area as the wheel direction is controlled by the steering arm and would flop about without it, but the steering system does not control the physical location of the hub nor does it control motion through compression and rebound. So I think it gets by the "active suspension" rule that killed Williams all those years ago. And since it's only changing the alignment of two wheels and not four, it complies with the posted steering regulation.

If steering angle isn't considered "an adjustment to any suspension system", then why would toe?

And as it's only aligning two wheels...


But anyway, that facebook video has it backwards. Toe out would improve turn-in, not toe in...which improves stability. Come on Palmer.
