MrJacques Posted March 15, 2021 Share That can only cause a shlt load of unnecessary extra drag and hamper good air flow over the rear wing The tech talk I've heard regarding this is that they moved some cooling (radiators?) from the sidepods to the airbox section. The smaller sidepods apparently give a bigger aero gain than the drawback from the bigger airbox, so overall it's still better for aero. Although the weight distribution is worse with more towards the top of the car. We'll have to wait and see how it does in racing.

Lewis spinning out may suggest that the back end of the car isn't as grippy as before, which was what the rule changes for the floorboards aimed to do. It was sandy though? So could have been literal sandbagging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could have been literal sandbagging See they not being able to really get that car planted enough to seriously push the times has me thinking it might be legit. On the other side they are the reigning sandbagging champions, and there was a video I watched that explained how the fastest car in testing very rarely turns out to be the champion. And on the other other side, I firmly believe that merc are so setup at woking that they could literally redesign the floor before next week and just turn up once again with an absolute beast of a car.

aiyaaz Posted March 21, 2021 Share So just as a nice long weekend approaches, both my laaities decide to get sick, meaning me being homebound for literally the entire weekend...I had no other choice but to stay home, binge and complete season 3! ???? Once again, another brilliant season. Oh and to those that haven't watched it and do not want any spoilers, try and avoid F1 sites as they're reporting the events from episodes like "news".

I saw her in PE in the pits. If I remember, she crashed and broke her leg at one of the races. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted March 21, 2021 Share This really gives a good oversight of the series without spoiling it. I finished it today and have some thoughts I think could've been done better but overall it was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
