Or conversely, solving a fundamental issue like porpoising, which is forcing them to run a quite severely compromised setup, is likely to give then a much bigger boost in performance than any team who have solved it can achieve through 'normal' development.
AM reckon theyre giving away 0.5-0.75 seconds due to running such a compromised setup to avoid porpoising.
That’s plausible and I won’t deny it.
It shouldn’t hurt them for years, remember if you finish lower you get more wind tunnel runs and cfd time. In theory it should all even out…..
For sure. On the chassis side, at least. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword though. Because, until summer break, they’ll have the least resources.
PU improvements are locked, outside of reliability. Ferrari has really knocked it out of the park with their E10 adaptation. Toto doesn’t know yet whether it’s drag, PU deficiencies, or both, that are hurting them on the main straight.
