Just a quick question to aero/mech engineers out there. What gives a car the advantage in low speed corners? Mechanical grip enabled by suspension and chassis setup or aero configuration of the car? What does one have to do to improve low speed corners? Aero tweaks or suspension adjustments and chassis setup with a different ballast placement?

Mostly chassis and suspension. A ton of downforce helps as well, which doesn’t have to be efficient. Oh and good drivability, with the current PU’s, having lots of electric power from the apex.

Thanks for the info!

Andreas Seidl after testing today.
“We conducted some aerodynamic tests to learn more about the aero package that we took to the Spanish Grand Prix, in addition to some further aerodynamic developments that we are considering for future introduction. We also gathered some information which will be very useful for the development of the car.”

The Spaniard did not finish happy with the pace, he saw a step back with respect to the free practice, although there is optimism in his garage. Maybe they have something that others do not know to keep progressing in the middle zone. And maybe that's what Newey is looking for.

Maybe he's just getting a closer look at the car he'll be improving next season, after his contract at Red Bull runs out and he returns home.

Could you imagine...

That would be the dream, but improbable after the recent signings

Yeah, near impossible. There's been word on the street that he and Fry don't really get along, or put a bit more mildly, have creative differences. James Key left Toro Rosso due to a closer technical association with the senior team, which would leave him with less room to express himself. There would also be a question mark on Prodromou, I guess, who also left to get some independence. But still, if you're one who believes in miracles, they could go for a structure that Red Bull presently have. Having a role of Technical Director and Chief Technical Officer.

Hahaha...I don't think that is possible. F1 teams are highly secretive, and sharing knowledge or ideas are not in their nature. Red Bull would never allow such an interaction of technical staff someone as good as Adrian Newey with his counterparts in another team, especially a team like McLaren with a reasonably high budget and a lot of talent. Besides, if he can help McLaren in the background, he can also review the car secretively in the background too. Why would he come to the grid to inspect the car and get caught by media examining it?

So they are testing the new FW with the old RW. Something they didn't actually do on FP1 or FP2 i think. They went head to head with New New and Old Old.
Imagine to find out that lowering the rear DF actually balances the car better and solves the S3 understeer problems in slow corners.
Imagine to find out that they have just overdone it with the Rear DF Hureyyyy !!!
