A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.
"...and there, very much in flames, is Jacques Laffite's Ligier. That's obviously a turbo blaze, and of course, Laffite will be able to see that conflagration in his mirrors... he is coolly parking the car somewhere safe."Murray Walker, San Marino 1985
Glancing quickly through the thread, I don't see reference to something I saw in the Spanish GP.
On Bottas' car there was an onboard view looking at the front suspension where it connects to the hub. Seeing it really quick towards the end of the shot I noticed either one of the arms or the steering link had a 'knuckle' at the end of it that was in a goldish colored metal that was extending and retracting back into itself as the suspension worked.
Not sure if this is a common bit of kit on all the cars... I need to watch the race again to find the shot as it was a little curious.
Before I do anything I ask myself “Would an idiot do that?” And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing. - Dwight Schrute
