A broken hydraulic hose would let its oil out and the pressure would go down, letting the DRS take its low position.. No?

But a broken hose isn't the only possible hydraulic failure... What about a broken valve that didn't allow the fluid to drain again? Plus, even a broken hose could cause this failure – e.g. a broken hose on the system that controlled the valve that let fluid out of the DRS. Plus, the DRS might be raised based on a lack of fluid, not based on the presence of fluid, it might need pressure in the system to lower it.ced381 wrote:A broken hydraulic hose would let its oil out and the pressure would go down, letting the DRS take its low position..

Thanks for the explanation. As I said I'm no expert.beelsebob wrote:But a broken hose isn't the only possible hydraulic failure...

i was thinking, did schumi used only one chassis in this first 7 races? maybe that is problem?Leon wrote:It seems that someone at Mercedes sabotage Schuey's car))) too much failures for one car compared to other one
sure that area is damn hot under heat soak conditions surely 90+ surface temps not many people can stand this for long ...nacho wrote:I felt the didn't want to go too far fixing it to not reveal things, after one of the guys went with his hands to the cooling hole it seemed others were hesitant.
Yes must be burning. There was something the guy tried to pull/push or cut.marcush. wrote:sure that area is damn hot under heat soak conditions surely 90+ surface temps not many people can stand this for long ...nacho wrote:I felt the didn't want to go too far fixing it to not reveal things, after one of the guys went with his hands to the cooling hole it seemed others were hesitant.
looked like he wanted to snip the hydraulic pipe or the wire that powers the accuatornacho wrote:I felt the didn't want to go too far fixing it to not reveal things, after one of the guys went with his hands to the cooling hole it seemed others were hesitant.
Two details I find interesting in the diffuser zone:Crucial_Xtreme wrote:Good shot of the W03 up in the air
Yes, he was in there with sidecutters - I imagine to remove hydraulic pressure the old fashioned way.snoop1050 wrote:looked like he wanted to snip the hydraulic pipe or the wire that powers the accuator
