F1 » F1 Spain 2013: Hamilton seeks to close gap


Tisk, tisk “Lulu is ALWAYS “catching up” isn’t he”, yes he is, read all the posts on this page!. Lulu apart, Mercedes looks like they went a step too far with their FRIC system like they did with their double F DUCT, the FRIC system being passive is not easy to setup without it being computerised, it even needs be setup from track too track. The system which has been in use for the last three years by most teams interconnects hydraulically right and left suspension unites to control roll and ride height, it does away with the third spring/shock absorber and the roll bar. Mercedes seems to be trying to control pitch by even connecting front to rear suspension unites, this to keep car rake as constant as possible under acceleration and braking and so not losing the diffuser effective seal (by exhaust plume) when this seal is lost tyre squirt will disrupt the effectiveness of the diffuser aero effect (down force) and tyre slip will set in.

Yes, Pirelli lowered the hard tyre minimum working temperature from 110 to 100 degrees getting the working temperature of the hard tyre closer to the medium’s 90 degree minimum working temperature. Pirelli’s lowering of the minimum working temperature of the hard tyre will affect the WO4 negatively the most of the top teams on race pace, on the other hand most if not all of the other top teams will benefit when the hard tyre is being used. And this regardless of Lulu being in the driving seat, in fact in my opinion he being in the driving seat chances are the problem can only increase.
