You could do whatever you wanted with the car ,drop it from the eiffeltower As long as you look on the car from a point FIXED to the car there cannot be ANY movement.Draw a line or a cross every point of the car will remain immobile relative to the reference line(s).
Of course there is the variable of the camera mount or lens moving and my impression is that we see exactly this in these shots.
I believe that Red Bull has still the upper hand. Alonso had to drive at his absolute max to fend off Vettel, whilst Vettel did not even break into a sweat. I reckon that he could have passed Alonso, but the peculiar wing twisting when coming out of another car's slipstream, made Vettel wary of a pass, or he might even have been warned by Horner. It was clear to see that Vettel could back off when there was a brake query, yet when this was cleared, he immediatedly pulled back on to Alonsos gearbox. Just prudence, this time.marcush. wrote:I´m not as optimistic but .
Ferrari in the hands of Alonso is a s quick as Vettel/RBR6 as it looks.
Mclaren pair is a match for Webber in his I´m leading the championship and do not go for the last bit of risk mode.
REDB bull Superiority has evaporated with the last string of ruleenforcements and
Ferrari and Mclaren getting to grips with EBD and agressive overrunmaps andf catching up on frontwing design.
Maybe we see some advantage in Suzuka coming back but I think they now realise this will not be an easy task.

Singapore is not really a "RedBull domination track" IMO. RBR have gobs of downforce so they will run good at Singapore.. but what really separates them from the rest of the pack is High G-force turns Like turn 8 at Turkey. Medium speed downforce efficiency.myurr wrote:Singapore is the highest downforce circuit on the calendar - even higher than Monaco according to the Radio 5 live commentators. This should have been a Red Bull circuit, but they no longer seem to enjoy such a large downforce advantage.n smikle wrote:Just to add.. this RedBull has no new upgrades on it. They did very well considering the track is a low G-force track. Isn't it scary what will happen in Suzuka? You might as well call it Silverstone II.
McLaren also have a further large upgrade targeting Suzuka so I expect all three teams to still be very closely matched.
It's rather silly though, everyone knows the key to a championship is having a car like the RB6, bucketloads of downforce is all you need. Red Bull could have effectively won both titles awhile ago if they didn't screw up so muchforty-two wrote:+1segedunum wrote: I've never seen cars so up and down in relative performance from race to race.
Is this because
- They all started from roughly a level playing field?
- The teams have been throwing resources at developing in season
- Each team has designed their car to be best at "insert discipline here" meaning that when the track needs that discipline, they're leading
It's an interesting point to ponder.
I don't know marcush, is it just me or are those wishbones actually angled for a "dive", rather than "anti-dive"?marcush. wrote:

in this shot you can see the angles of the wishbones (of the front 9 so an indication of antidive ...not much in there but also not zero..
