No this has nothing to do with the Seesaw discussion.
I am interested in the actual system that ferrari used. I wanted more details.
You can't use the same source as the proposal.
The information came from somewhere; either stepney or mclaren.
I have already narrowed down that the curbs are the only logical place the seesaw can work, if it existed.
It doesn't make much sense else where on the track, as scraping the ground is not beneficial among other discrepancies.
Secondly the actual mechanism itself has to be different, it cannot be the exact same thing ferarri used. The FIA would have to be really stupid to pass that.
This is why i want actual unadulterated details on the floor itself. I don't like to read embellishments. That article like the other articles about the ferrari floor don't really say much and they're all the same almost word for word; like most things on F1 sites nowadays. They all have that speculative feel to them. It speaks of the floor and what it does, but is says nothing substantial about the device itself and the mechansim.
I believe that curb riding is the only way that something like the seesaw thing can work. The rest of the theory never added up. Unlike aero loading running into a curb doesn't depend on the car lowering and the force is pretty much high more most speeds of the car. We've seen what a curb can do to felipe's suspension.
It surely can bend up a floor.
To add to this, floor may be able to flex from the sides, as the curbs are approached diagonally.
This reminds me of Vettels pole last year in australia. He was sailing over the curbs.

There are other examples where the car goes almost undisturbed over curbs.
