Agreed but what do you think he is meaning wrt efficiency of the MCL60?PhillipM wrote: ↑24 Feb 2023, 20:52That's not what was said, he said efficiency. That doesn't necessarily mean drag, per se. Efficiency changes through the differing downforce levels.
Many cars at the bottom of the grid lack efficiency but they're very fast in a straight line because they're most efficient in low downforce, low drag setups.
Are those support stays in the diffuser? Were they there for the entire testing? Haven't seen that on any other car
that's a stagnation pressure sensor package , and that's the light one , yesterday they used a big sensor package that made the diffuser look like a spider's nest lol
Wouldn't the back pressure induced by the kiel rakes influence the performance and pressure distribution inside the diffuser? It just looks like blockage. One of the tricky things about these sensor arrays is understanding how to take measurements without the measuring instrument influencing the property you are trying to measure.Goblin42 wrote: ↑24 Feb 2023, 21:51that's a stagnation pressure sensor package , and that's the light one , yesterday they used a big sensor package that made the diffuser look like a spider's nest lol
