I posted above that the solution would be no good for this year, at that point I hadn’t even read to the end of the article.
But now having done so, it amazes me that the writer suggests it will be interesting to see if Ferrari repeat this again this year
What sort of technical editor is unaware that that section of floor will no longer exist?
Edge, I take that you used Google translate. Or you need to improve your understanding of the Italian language.
The author talks about repeating the idea, not to use the same floor.
At no point did I suggest they were going to use the 'same floor', I said the author suggested they may try to us the 'same idea'
No I don't speak Italian, so yes i used Google translate. this is what the article translated to...
it will be interesting to look at the second round of the 2021 season if the idea that escaped in November is revived
Are you trying to tell me that is not the correct translation of the original italian? because in english translation this is clearly what it states, however the new floors will be cut away in that area and 'slots' are prohibited, so it will not be possible to repeat
1. Changes to the cars' floors
The most obvious visual change F1 fans will be able to spot in 2021 is alterations to the cars’ floor shape. In recent years the visible part of the floors, when seen from above, have looked rectangular, with various longitudinal and lateral slots poking out of them. These slots were used by the teams to increase the amount of downforce generated near the floor edges, creating stronger suction underneath the car, as well as fine-tuning the vortex that forms at the floor edge to further improve ground effect.
Those slots have been ixnayed for this year – the regulations stating that the whole floor must now be solid – while the floors will also feature triangular cutaways at their rear, reducing the downforce-generating surface area on cars further.
