Can anyone confirm this with before after images? First I'm hearing about it...Mercedes is one of the cars with less rake, travels very flat, and hence its excellent speeds in straight, while Red Bull, the inventor of the trick, is the one that always has the highest rake. When in the Catalan track they reduced the rake of the MCL34 all their geometry varied, other behaviors began to arrive and with it, other results
Pat Fry was one of the engineers that worked on the car. He may have had lead role, but he is not fully responsible for the performance of the car this year, just like Key wont be fully responsible for next year. McLaren now has a good platform and plenty of good and talented people to work with in the future. It's still a shame Pat Fry left. His insight and experience is valuable for any team in F1.selvam_e2002 wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 13:45I have a quick question. will Patfry exit impact 2020 car? How James key handle current situation. It seems Patry did most of the work for 2019 and it is producing very good result.
If we don't see similar improvement in 2020 car with Jameskey, how we can handle the situation? It is just a doubt.
I know the less rake more top speed is wrong. If you get it right, it allows you to run more DF without affecting top speed.M840TR wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 14:06Lucky wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 12:40news arrives in the central part of the car for the Great Prize of England and works for major changes and more visible for the Germany

But Merc has always had low rake and high top speed, it would seem that this particular season they have are suffering from a more draggy configuration to create more downforce.diffuser wrote:I know the less rake more top speed is wrong.

Merc, at least this year, are struggling with speed in straights.
McLaren, since the beginning of the year, run slightly less rake. Same or a little less than RBR, last year they ran more than RBR.

Right and I just pointed a couple things that are wrong. So I am not likely to believe anything he writes.....Not to mention that if you painted RBR car McLaren orange, the average person would have problems telling them apart.SmallSoldier wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 16:11But Merc has always had low rake and high top speed, it would seem that this particular season they have are suffering from a more draggy configuration to create more downforce.diffuser wrote:I know the less rake more top speed is wrong.

The article does seem more of an opinion piece than based on actual data, clearly boasting Sainz... The journalist has been involved in F1 for a couple decades now, which doesn’t necessarily mean that he is a good source.

For me the MCL34 has little to do with the RBR... Seems more like a mix of the interesting traits from most cars in the grid (not saying that they copy anyone per se, but I can see different cars in it).diffuser wrote:Right and I just pointed a couple things that are wrong.
