i completely agree! that might be also the reason we had so many barge board upgrades this year....i think that that part of the sidepods is maybe one of Ferrari's problems (the other one being low speed traction)...it has been discussed at the beginning of the year as well...bhallg2k wrote:Notice the "new" front wing's flaps, which are different than the "old" front wing's flaps.Notice the area of the car being heavily investigated.amouzouris wrote:http://www.formula1.com/wi/sutton/2012/ddr1227jy021.jpgI don't think the end plates are the problem.

But about the only one.
Alogoc, instead of perpetuating random rumours, how about giving us a single, good reason, WHY?!
Increasing drivetrain (which is much denser and overall heavier than some fuel) COG-height is really worth it, to lengthen the fuel tank, putting a little bit of fuel lower down.bhallg2k wrote:So, changing the car's center of gravity, everything about the rear suspension and rear-end aerodynamics, and the very way the car applies power to the ground are all going to help a problem with fuel tank placement?
That's tantamount to having your arm amputated to get rid of a hangnail.
yes! and incidentally improve car's car's center of gravity,improve car's car's rear suspension,improve rear-end aerodynamics, and improve the very way the car applies power to the groundbhallg2k wrote:So, changing the car's center of gravity, everything about the rear suspension and rear-end aerodynamics, and the very way the car applies power to the ground are all going to help a problem with fuel tank placement
i will never mention it again!bhallg2k wrote:None of those changes would be an improvement. They are fundamental to a car's initial design; changing them would only make trouble.
Please drop this idea, at least here.
Uuuh, there they are, all the advantages that we asked for. Lots and lots of arguments. That most of them are rubbish is but a little stain.alogoc wrote:yes! and incidentally improve car's car's center of gravity,improve car's car's rear suspension,improve rear-end aerodynamics, and improve the very way the car applies power to the groundbhallg2k wrote:So, changing the car's center of gravity, everything about the rear suspension and rear-end aerodynamics, and the very way the car applies power to the ground are all going to help a problem with fuel tank placement
they need to improve everything,because they tried small steps after Canada and they clearly fell behind!
Could some Mod please hold him to his word?alogoc wrote:i will never mention it again!
until Spa!
The fact that they are trying this new wing with very little changes over several weekends hints that it is part of a bigger update package. It would not take that much time to find out that it didn't work as intended.Pierce89 wrote:He's saying that some upgrades can only work as a package and if you use only part of it its possible to eveb lose time. However, none of us know if that's what's going on with the front wing. We can only hope [-o<
