Not in their plans now it seems. The pull-rod FS and the nose will remain the same as confirmed many times by Fry earlier.Chuckjr wrote:Any word AT ALL (Crucial X...) about the new nose ridding of that horrid step?

The rules for wing load testing have been more stringent this year - http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pr ... cw-qa.aspxalogoc wrote:why this year Ferrari wing is flexing much less than last year?
Mercedes and even Lotus seems to flex a lot not to mention RB!
Could it be rake related!
Could the front Pullrod suspenspion have an influence on the flexibility of the front wing?alogoc wrote:why this year Ferrari wing is flexing much less than last year?

they are nowhere near to "similar", even without double floor.Mui wrote:To me the Ferrari sidepods look like the ones on the Torro Rosso without the double floor. Could it be that physically internally the ferrari can't have an exit ala red bull, mclaren et al?
don´t be sure..the forces of the pushrods are fed into the tub ...and if you are committed as RedBull certainly is ..you will work with controlled elastic deformation of components to enhance aero...timbo wrote:No.crypted wrote:Could the front Pullrod suspenspion have an influence on the flexibility of the front wing?
ok, I have a feeling the dudes at SF indeed have a clue as to what needs to be monitored in order to ensure the safety of their drivers. But those stickers are used to monitor the max temp.marcush. wrote:you cannot ignore the time your components are exposed to the temp.If you think that is not important and not worth knowing you are up to some surprises.
I´d say the thermal behaviour of the CF components is not that easy to monitor as the heat may or may not be conducted quite quickly along the length of the fibres.
I for once would install permanent temp probes in critical areas per defaultand monitor closely what´s happening and after completing the service life iinspection will reveal how close my prediction was in terms of life remaining in the component...
Could it be silica ceramics!?alogoc wrote:What material is that black thing used for coanda ramps around modern F1 exhausts?

It is perfectly possible that under certain suspension loads the tub is designed to bend.
I might just remind you guys that REDBULL had two years in a row issues with tubs somehow giving up i one of the first races.
Same for lotus this year...
It seems totally unrealistic these teams do a trial and error in their tub design in terms of understanding the loads involved?
there is something they want to achieve and certainly it´s not saving 100odd grammes of carbonfibre placed too high in the forward portion of the tub when you still have a steering rack master cylinders ,steering column,and pedalbox + two drivers legs ,electronic boxes there.
