From what I heard the throttle was broken.
As he crashed it sounds like the car was idling much higher than the normal F1 rpm idle (like throttle was stuck at 10% or something), After he mentioned the throttle , his engineer said "ok its a 0% now" as if it wasn't going back to 0 to allow it to engage reverse.
Hello all, sorry for my ignorance, but when I see this kind of image from below the floor, I wonder. the floor inlet sends more air to the outside of the car than to the venturi tunnels. doesn't that create a lot of positive lift on the middle of the car?
Ferrari made a habit of showing their new floor to everyone right after bolting it on.
Binotto said post-race and it's obvious from the onboards that Charles' references to throttle were about trying to get out of the wall in reverse (but the nose was stuck). The throttle issue from Austria did not return
I agree with your last statement. Best chassis, best car overall. What a beast that thing is. Even more of a pity that they can’t put everything together and win the races. But that’s a different story.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2022, 07:36Great comparison angles, as expected this is a completely new floor altogether. They did what RB did with the step (red arrows), using it to narrow down the keel to let more air to the floor, then introduce a hard outward flick to help run the air outwards to the throat. The chassis department is doing the best job on the grid, the car is perfect in all conditions.Blackout wrote: ↑25 Jul 2022, 00:43Did they sculpt the red area so that created a front facing step (red arrow) that looks like the RB one?

The mini diffusers at the boat tail are still there but not very visible, or not as agressive ?

AFAIK, if the underbody inlet had no fences like that, it would create a lot of lift indeed. That's where the fences come in handy, they are like wings placed vertically so they will create suction behind them (behind the last fence, the inboard one) so they create local downforce. And that high suction area (purple below) will pull air inside the ventury tunnels.Sylv1 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2022, 12:31Hello all, sorry for my ignorance, but when I see this kind of image from below the floor, I wonder. the floor inlet sends more air to the outside of the car than to the venturi tunnels. doesn't that create a lot of positive lift on the middle of the car?
sorry for my poor english
I think there are several solutions from other cars, packed together in a unique way. This new stepped inlet was actually something Mercedes did with their launch-spec.
It's just different reflections and a curvature between vertical and horizontal surfaces. I don't think there would be any benefit of introducing a step there.
Yeah I knew it wasn't a repeat of the Austria issue. I assumed it was fully broken.
I am always impressed by their graphics... Amazing work.
