One last attempt, this time I tried to align the height of both cars from the floor to the airbox (without the T-cam it would be 95 cm if I remember correctly (?)), this should give a better comparison in the plane of symmetry
Agree, looks the same to me. Which would mean the radiator inlets are further up (in both axes) based solely on that comparative visual.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 01:07Cockpit distance looks the same to me. It's has been a Mercedes trait to use the maximum allowed length ofr front wheel to cockpit though... So I supposed they did that in 2022 and 2023..
the angle in both these pics is a little different, hard to make actual measurements on thiswogx wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 00:31One last attempt, this time I tried to align the height of both cars from the floor to the airbox (without the T-cam it would be 95 cm if I remember correctly (?)), this should give a better comparison in the plane of symmetry

You sure? Mercedes had the cockpit most forward of all teams last years and had the smallest distance between the front axle and the cockpit. RB the exact oposite.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 01:07Cockpit distance looks the same to me.

That video...is trash.
There’s nothing there the looks remotely rhythmic.yinlad wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 12:40https://gyazo.com/677f597577858c85607a8115e4430682
if anything speaks to porpoising it's this part of the video, but it's such a short cut it's pretty speculative. Only that the car is compressing aggressively on a near perfectly flat bit of track
Has the nightmare of Mercedes engineers called porpoising returned? This may be indicated by the recordings from the W14 cockpit shared by the team after yesterday's film day: #F1pl #EchaPadoku
It's too short and it's too slowed down to see anything rhythmic, if you look at the gap between floor and road it looks to be half a 'wavelength' of a porpoise event. It's a substantial ride height change (20mm at a guess?) considering the surface being driven on. Which is why I suspect it could be porpoising214270 wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 12:51There’s nothing there the looks remotely rhythmic.yinlad wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 12:40https://gyazo.com/677f597577858c85607a8115e4430682
