"It's a stupid bolt that broke in the exhaust," said racing director Eric Boullier of the first issue.
"So it was a £2 problem which cost us a lot of track time, because everything was burned after in the back of the car, so we had to rebuild the gearbox and the back end.
"Nothing else than this. It didn't cost us much to revise the design, it's more about the track time we lost. As you can see the design is still the same and the car is still running."
Regarding Thursday's problem, he added: "Cooling is the first matter that every team is managing in the first week of testing.
"In a case where you have a new engine partner, you might have some sort of heat soak pocket in the car.
"We can see on the bodywork there are a couple of stripes, but this is just because we have to make sure there are some proper heat shields in place, consider all the heat soak pockets, and make sure we can modify and change the cooling inside the bodywork."
Except that they don't - you can't "simply" make a cut for such large slots, since it'll cause the floor to flex too much.wesley123 wrote: ↑01 Mar 2018, 13:02Everyone already knows how to make them legal, it's simply making a cut from the hole to the floors edge.
I have no idea what you are seeing, all I see is tire wake being pushed aside, which is the result of what you are talking about. People 'want' to see these vortices because they are so exciting but conditions must be quite perfect for them to be visible. Is this what you are seeing?godlameroso wrote: ↑01 Mar 2018, 16:44https://i.imgur.com/3wuiKAp.jpg
Wish I could get an HD shot of this! You can see the vortex forming from the slot gap on the floor, and the spray from the y250 vortex area is clearly going through the bargeboard then channeled to the outside of the sidepod endplate. Look at how the spray of the front wheels feeds this y250 spray, particularly the wheel hubs. Then the complete lack of spray near the front wing end plates.
I don't see the issue:
Any chance they are actually building any "hydrodynamic" devices into these cars for wet weather conditions? A win is a win even if it comes in the rain. .........."Dig Deeper, deeper till we get to China, never stop... ever! "godlameroso wrote: ↑01 Mar 2018, 16:44https://i.imgur.com/3wuiKAp.jpg
