not sure this trimmed rear wing is the right one, S2 is not good and deg seems bad
anyway it'll be impossible to win, maybe a podium is on the cards
Maybe, but I wouldn't go that far.
RB issue is not wind tunnel time, but losing Adrian Newey.Bill wrote: ↑26 Jul 2024, 19:22you cant blame windtunnel time but its effects are clear to see.the bottomline is the rules are not the same for all players and that's not fair game.they is no logical reason thats say someone should be given more time because they done a lousy jop.teams were naive to agree to these.if redbull have unlimited time they will try some risky design choices.
I don't expect any major upgrades soon. I feel Hungary one was their big shot for this year. Probably more refinements are coming, but nothing very big. So I expect the same performance until year-end, unless they find some magic setup to dial-out there issues.
It is not an excuse, just a (part) explanation.Dunlay wrote: ↑26 Jul 2024, 19:15It's a moot point to blame the wind tunnel time. Usually in every regulations, performances converge over time. Only in the previous regulations, Mercedes had an iron grip with the engines until Honda emerged as a challenger. With power units having converged now, it's all about marginal gains. Every team would have some grey area exploited to gain upper hand and as FIA gets information, they keep closing it and the advantage disappears. Red Bull were lucky that Mercedes fluffed these regulations and Ferrari got screwed with TD039. Red Bull had a good run so far and now others are catching up.
I doubt if Red Bull has any greater ideas that can put them back to RB18, RB19 or early RB20 levels of performance advantage. Their last couple of upgrades haven't delivered what they were looking for and stagnated them while McLaren has made progress. You can't blame wind tunnel time for that.
