I must admit i had the same thought when I saw how complex their floor stays were and how flat their floor stayed during cornering.Henk_v wrote: ↑07 Mar 2023, 20:09At the risk of sounding a bit naive and knowing this is about the RB19;
I can't shake the thought that RB has linked the floor beams to the suspension. They can deform the floor with much higher force tha aero could circumventing stiffness regulations and they can flex it opposing to aero forces.
Rolling in a corner increases the downforce on the outside corner side and reduces the downforce on the inner corner side. This increases the rolling force on the car that needs to be countered with suspension. It also increases the load shift to the outer wheels.
If the suspension is linked to the floor and keeps the floor level while the car rolls, the inner corner tires take more of the load, reducing the load on the outer corner rear wheel. The aero does expert less rolling force, allowing for les stiff suspension setting.
But maybe thats just dumb...
However, that would surely be illegal as a moveable aero device?
