If it's true that RBR went too late into development of the 2021 challenger, could we see RBR buy parts from ATR ?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 02:18Either RedBull is serious trouble.... Or they have total rocketship! It's just too quiet...

Didn't say they aren't gonna be ready. Normally RBR designs the suspension and gearbox and stuff and ATR buys from them. This year, thier budgets are the same but RBR was fighting late into the season for the constructors. This year's suspension is copmpletely new. Every team's suspension from last year went into the bin and has been redesigned from scratch. Pretty easy for RBR to send some Suspension design people to work for ATR and buy the suspention from them.Wouter wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 16:32.diffuser wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 16:15If it's true that RBR went too late into development of the 2021 challenger, could we see RBR buy parts from ATR ?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 02:18Either RedBull is serious trouble....

Strange question. Why would RBR have the car not ready? They have a shakedown this week IIRC.

Franz Tost already said that SAT bought the rear suspension and gearbox (2022) from RB Technologies.
They are running out of time to do a shakedown, they need to get the car shipped to Barcelona for next week. Marko said in the media a couple of weeks ago they might not do a shakedown if they run out of time...no idea if that is a cause for concern or not. It could mean they lose a bit of time during the first test fixing issues that would normally be found during a shakedown.
The mechanical parts of the RB18 will most likely already be finished, at least the initial iteration of them, so suspension, gearbox, PU etc and they basic tub that they bolt onto will also have been finished by now.diffuser wrote: ↑11 Feb 2022, 21:53That was what my reference was to ..if they haven't finished the RB18, not sure how he'd be testing it.Wouter wrote: ↑11 Feb 2022, 17:30The car running on the AVL test bench in the adjacent room is the real new RB18, probably the 1st or 2nd version.diffuser wrote: ↑11 Feb 2022, 17:16I just didn't know...so I had my doudts but ok ...
you said "The driver sits in the simulator, and in an adjacent room the car drives on rollers, complete with engine, transmission and "tires",as if it were on the racetrack."
I presumed for that to be relevant that the car inthe other room need to be a match for the 2022 car?
That depends on how far they are with testing and adjustments/updates.
