Formula1.com wrote:In Montreal all teams introduced low-downforce rear wings, though these are not the extreme solutions we used to see on the pre-2014 regulation cars. That is because the current generation of F1 machines cannot afford to lose too much rear downforce, now that the lower beam wing has been banned. One of the most interesting solutions seen in Canada was this rear wing on the Toro Rosso, with new endplates featuring only two gills at the front and top, and a very low-downforce main profile and flap.
Formula1.com wrote:It integrates with the previous floor update - debuted in Spain - in which two longitudinal slots (two lower right arrows) were added in front of the rear tyres to reduce pressure in this area of the car. The new rear suspension follows the trend set by Mercedes for a raised top wishbone (top arrow), but even more significant is the shape of the lower wishbone (centre arrow). This is very similar to what Mercedes have been doing with their front suspension since last season, with the lower element effectively becoming a wide aerofoil thanks to the new pick up point with the upright.
What is the advantage of this?? It looks thicker than before.Sevach wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CH8DzDOWsAAeB8A.jpg:large
STR did the Mercedes front suspension arm design on it's rear suspension.
