Did Mercedes make a breakthrough or is the difference that FIA just allowed Mercedes to keep their floppy wing even though it looks like a bird of prey trying to take off when the car goes over the curb.
With the new wind tunnel, on the other hand, which will be built in the third plant at Silverstone currently under construction, there will be a path that will allow the team to significantly speed up all procedures. First of all, in the third plant not only the wind tunnel will be born, but also the composites department that will be developed in several sectors, starting from the "raw" materials up to the modeling of the various projects that will have to be tested. In this way, the wind tunnel and the various specialized departments will be directly connected, ensuring greater operational flexibility.
Similarly, the new simulator will also guarantee a step forward compared to the current one. In recent years, teams have invested significantly, especially before the introduction of the budget cap, to purchase new technologies in step with the times. Many teams, for example, have invested in new simulators, such as Ferrari and Sauber, since the basic structures were now more than a few years behind them. A path also followed by Aston Martin, which has also decided to guarantee a new simulator that allows for much more accurate detections, especially at the hardware level, considering that this type of detection requires high-frequency inputs and responses to understand, for example, reactions based on the roughness of the asphalt.

He is GOD (General Overview Deputy).AR3-GP wrote: ↑20 Aug 2024, 23:53Does Lawrence Stroll have a position with a title within the Aston Martin Formula One team? Forgive me for the basic question. I'm trying to understand whether he is considered a salaried employee for budget cap purposes. He is a team owner which seems like a grey area, but he clearly makes decisions about the team. Would that make him an employee in some way?

Thank you for this. So he is "chairman" of Aston Martin, not AMR F1. So he technically wouldn't be an employee of AMR F1.

The Race has made a chart in their recent video. Still missing quite a few people to get the full idea but it's better than nothing.
There are a few people saying that there is a good chance the Hungary GP package is not the full upgrades and the sidepods, rear wing coming. Some guy explained that the high drag encountered by Aston was in Spa was due to this as the floor is now high drag and downforce and the sidepods and rear wing is meant to bring the efficiency back. From Hungary it's clear that the car has pace in low downforce and is now good with tyres. They could spring a massive surprise at the Dutch gp. The only thing is I don't think there is a rear wing upgrade till monza but let's see.KimiRai wrote: ↑20 Aug 2024, 18:05It looks like Ferrari could bring upgrades around Baku-Singapore, probably Aston Martin also at a similar date. But in any case if the aim of this second half is to catch a good development line and start reducing the gap to the top 4, it means Aston must bring more performance than Ferrari's and the other teams upgrades. Fairly obvious but there's no other way to close the gap than this, they have to improve at a quicker rate. Difficult to say with all the troubles they've had but it's the only way.
Next upgrade must translate to more lap time than the Hungary ones which were on the low side, even if correlation was good at least.
What are you talking about? RBR developed nothing about the current block for RB18-21. Honda designed the block to mate to their gearbox. Adrian Newey has already credited working with Honda as a reason for their success. I wouldn't expect anything less with the AMR collab.
