Hamilton pressured them to make a car like RB.stonehenge wrote: ↑17 Feb 2024, 15:05Yes you did. And I was never one the people who said zeropods can never work. I just find it curious how many other users have completely switched their tone just based on this one report.Venturiation wrote: ↑17 Feb 2024, 14:54I always believed in zeropodsstonehenge wrote: ↑17 Feb 2024, 14:47The number of people in this thread who were *certain* that the zeropod style could never work and are making a 180 based on a report that Red Bull will move in that direction is fascinating to me. Let's wait and see what actually happens.
What doesn't make sense is when mercedes said they found the ceiling in it and that they moved on from that
At the same time Allison says the ceiling is clear for the other concept too
Did mercedes see something in the other concept that mclaren and redbull have moved on from or mercedes tools didn't let them see the full potential of zeropods
If Red Bull actually adobt a zeropod-concept that is similar to Mercedes and not just a more extreme version of what they already have, I would have so many questions... Lots of folks on the RB thread saying it's just down to the suspension/mechanical platform, but surely it couldn't be that simple? Mercedes has enough resources to have investigated that possibility and they decided to change *both* the suspension/make drastic changes to the chassis, *and* drop the zeropod. Surely they would have a good reason for doing so after two years of zeropod?
