Feels like a massive nothing burger to me.
Nothingburger?
Brakeboosted has replied to users on twitter, some of which frequent this forum, and absolutely nails it.
So you're telling that having a device situated at the drivers feet that would require the driver to get out every time an adjustment needs to be made, is more accessible than removing the bib with a car already on jackstands in the garage.
By their own admission, it only get's adjusted when the car is disassembled, so why go through the effort of designing something that is now technically more work than simply removing the BIB and making adjustments?
So they have admitted to making their lives more difficult, do you think some of the smartest people in the world are capable of making things backwards
And for the absence of doubt, the FIA have told Red Bull for it to be removed which it will by Brazil. It will be sealed for the this race weekend. That is not conducive to "nothing burger".
My post is just reflexive of the nothing to see here stuff being posted. There is simply no reasonable explanation why a team in a budget cap formula would add complexity, cost, weight and operational time constraints on something unless they got a net benefit out of it. Also note Red Bull and both their drivers have denied any net benefit.
Why go this far then?
