Is it just me or is the lotus nose asymmetrical? What would be the advantage of this?

According to the regulations, only the longer tip is the front of the car. The other one is just body work.

McLaren's wacky rear suspension:

http://www.formula1.com/wi/enlarge/0x0/popup/sutton/2013/dpl1429ja038.jpg

McLaren's innovative rear suspension design has been the big technical talking point of the second day of 2014 Formula 1 testing at Jerez, writes AUTOSPORT technical expert Gary Anderson.

The team has attached a large aerodynamically-profiled 'blocker' to each of the rearmost suspension links.

This concept is designed both to give more downforce at low speed and reduce drag at high speed.

These blockers must be part of the suspension itself, but there is a very fine line between an independent shroud, which would be illegal, and something that is all one part and I'm sure that McLaren has ensured it complies with the rules.

This appears to meet all requirements of the regulations in terms of location and structure.

These aerodynamically-profiled parts act as devices to block the airflow coming out of the Coke bottle area when it gets to the back of the diffuser.

It creates an area of low pressure behind these blockers and this then increases the velocity of the airflow travelling underneath the car, generating more downforce from the underfloor.

The rear beam wing previously did this job, but the 2014 regulations have banned that so teams are looking for new ways to make up for it.

The interesting thing about this package is that when the car is at higher ride height, these sections will almost completely close the gap at the top of the diffuser, helping it to work at low speed.

At higher speed, because of suspension deflection, a gap will open up between the bottom of the lower blocker and the diffuser, which will reduce drag.

So this makes it a double whammy, giving you more downforce under braking and in slower corners and less drag at high speed.

This could be McLaren's secret weapon because, if it does work, it is not something that can be copied in five minutes as it is dependent on a number of design parameters at the rear of the car.

[DJ Lazy]

^^ Wow! Very interesting.

[rage2]

Mercedes powered teams in good shape. Aside from yesterday's no start, McLaren put in a solid # of laps today, even running a few "hotter" laps.

http://www1.skysports.com/f1/news/24180/9140354/jenson-button-says-handling-issues-that-dogged-2013-mclaren-not-apparent-on-mp4-29-debut


Encouraged by the MP4-29's own inherent performance, it also didn't escape Button's notice that it had been a strong Day Two for all of the four Mercedes-powered teams.

While the three Renault customer customers, including World Champions Red Bull, completed 18 laps between them amid battery problems, Mercedes engines racked up a combined total of 212 laps.

Button revealed that all the Mercedes teams had been running different kinds of programmes to understand the engine and admitted that, somewhat against the grain in the usually cut-throat world of F1, they could all help each other.

"Looking at the timesheets today it's very interesting because we're running a very different programme to [Nico] Rosberg and Mercedes," he revealed. "We're running very different engine modes, we're trying different things, so we're getting a lot of information from both cars. Also with [Williams driver Valtteri] Bottas and with [Force India's Sergio] Perez as well.

"So there's a lot of information, a lot of mileage. I think it's 75 per cent of the mileage done by an F1 car has a Mercedes engine. You could say we're in good shape that way as long as it continues like that. We all need to work together. Obviously at the end of the day we're all here to fight each other as teams but the more information that we can share over the next weeks and months can really make a difference to our championship."

Renault has some vibration issues with their cranks in this batch of engines, ERS problems, and RBR doesn't have enough cooling. Pit lane reports are seeing RBR starting to cut into bodywork to try to get more cooling for the Renault power unit.

Holy wastegates? Sounds boss. Definitely not as ear-piercingly loud though :(

[Mibz]

Toro Rosso sounds fucked.

I like the new engine sounds, but they don't feel "F1" anymore. It's crazy how different they are side-by-side with last year's. Not that I'm complaining, I love turbo noises :D

I'm not sure what you mean by "holy wastegates". All exhaust goes out the same hole and I'm pretty sure gasses that bypass the turbo still go through the ERS system before exiting so I don't think the sound is much different.

I can't explain the fluttering sound - blow off valves? wastegates? Or bypass valves?

Also, yes, more revs. Lots of short shifting I hear.

The sound you hear is likely the rev limiting due to fuel cut. and by fuel cut I mean modulating 1000 times per second.

Day 3. Rbr got in 3 laps. Technically speaking, that's 2 installation laps, and the 3rd lap made it to turn 3 before it caught fire. Ted Kravitz reports that turbo and battery is mounted too close together.

[rage2]

As a McLaren fan and a RBR/Vettel hater, I smile reading all the problems that Renault and RBR are having. Truth be told, they'll probably get shit sorted fairly quickly and recover with the double points races at the end of the season, but for now, I'll keep smiling haha.

Formula 1 - Ricciardo says no quick fix for Red Bull (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/formula-1-ricciardo-says-quick-fix-red-bull-174442344--f1.html)

Red Bull problems unlikely to be fixed overnight - Ricciardo (http://www.gptoday.com/full_story/view/477328/Red_Bull_problems_unlikely_to_be_fixed_overnight__Ricciardo/)

No full fix for Renault's problems before Bahrain Formula 1 test (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112368)

And some McLaren Koolaid:

F1 rivals set to copy McLaren's rear suspension design (http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/112365)

Finally, I dunno who this guy is, but he's had some pretty accurate info over the week as he's been at Jerez everyday. His views on Renault is a bit out there tho (believes it'll take 20 weeks! to fully fix their issues), and I guess there's some McLaren Koolaid in his post too.

http://thejudge13.com/2014/01/30/f1-testing-jerez-day-3/

We got our McLaren bets in last night before the odds were revised this morning. Button went from 18/1 last night to 10/1 today, and Magnussen went from 25/1 to 15/1 after posting some quick laptimes today.

[chongkee_]

i really doubt it'll take Renault 20 weeks to have the issues sorted out. I would love to be proven wrong on that though. What I'm afraid will happen again is that Renault couldn't completely fix their engine issues and when the engine's design is finally frozen they then get another pass to "fix" their engines while the other manufacturers' design is frozen and RBR starts dominating again after the fix. I don't really mind if RBR wins again just as long as it's a close race.

Also, saw this on twitter. RB10== Are beaten :rofl:

The McLaren rear suspension seems too complicated for the other teams to copy. I doubt any team would be able to show up in the first race with a similar set up.

[rage2]

I'll be disappointed if Renault is able to sneak in changes after the design is frozen like they did in 2010. That literally turned their engines from shit to domination overnight for 4 years.

[Mibz]

I'm sure that almost all teams are putting some resources onto figuring out how much it will cost and what will need to be redesigned to accommodate the McLaren rear suspension, but it's probably quite low on the priority list. It'll be really tough for anybody to know just how much benefit it gives, and I think everybody else has more important things to worry about right now.

I'm trying to keep my expectations low, but it's really hard right now :D

TJ13 is usually is pretty accurate in his predictions, if he's saying it I would believe it. Whats more likely to happen though is that Red Bull and Renault will bitch and get a special test allotted to them to fix the engine.

Ya it won't surprise me if that happens.
I just hope it's a close battle for the WDC this year.

Feel bad for STR, maybe they shouldn't have switched to Renault this year.

Test over early for RBR. 21 laps over 4 days.

Meanwhile, Rosberg hammered out a trouble free full on race sim this morning.

[CapnCrunch]

So are the teams not allowed to do any independent testing at all on their cars?

Everything has to be done at these testing events?

[Mibz]

You can do wind tunnel and CFD stuff, as well as limited straight-line testing. But for on-track tests, this is it until mid-season testing week.

The reasoning behind limited testing is simply to lower costs.

RBR will be fine. Didn't they miss the first testing in 2010? They won the WCC & WDC that year and dominated the following year.

Here's a temporary fix that RBR has done in order to aide cooling.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BfTSqkqCQAExS58.jpg:large

[rage2]

I don't doubt that as a team, RBR will find ways to make things work. Their biggest problem is the fact that Renault is having serious issues with their power unit, and that's something beyond RBR's control. 2010 was different, as they had an updated Renault engine that was superior to the competition, and there wasn't much change. Missing any mileage this year with such drastic changes in power unit, tires, and to a degree aero means you'll be way behind. Look how much everyone bitched last year when Mercedes had an extra tire testing day:

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107894

When Renault has only 92 combined laps under their belt, with only a handful that are timed with a restricted engine map in the first of 3 tests, that's a big problem that RBR can not fix. There's only 8 more days of testing left, with some of that needed by RBR to iron out the teething issues. To put that into perspective, Rosberg ran 91 laps just this morning alone, and the Ferrari/Mercedes teams have started work on aerodynamic testing 2 days ago.

That's my outlook on Renault powered teams anyways.

Renault Q&A posted on the Renault Sport F1 site. Does not look good.

http://www.renaultsportf1.com/Q-A-with-Rob-White-deputy-managing.html?lang=en

The most telling question, they're already talking about changes past the engine freeze date:


Are you concerned by the fact that engine specifications are frozen pre-season?

The homologation deadline is the end of February and is fundamental to regulations. Beyond that time, changes are permitted only with prior approval from the FIA. Change is not forbidden, but subject to the sporting regulations and we should not get so hung up on this date.

Renault having issues in general. From Scarbs:


"Craig Scarborough reported Renault will not be able to use full ERS-K power for rest of the tests, and probably Melbourne, and perhaps a few other races after".

Craig Scarborough has reported new information on this Renault problem on the Pit Stop Radio Show podcast on Monday evening. One can download the show here, also: http://www.spreaker.com/user/f1_fans_updates/technical-world-of-f1-2014-with-scarbsf1

@ minute 14:17, after discussing the ES problem briefly, Craig then says the big problem is in the ERS-K system. He said the ERS-K was apparently bringing its power in too quickly back to the ICE mainshaft, causing failure in the ERS-K, and the crankcase itself. He said there is a fundamental problem with the shaft of the ERS-K. Consequently, they now have a big redesign.

"For the rest of testing, they're going to have to without full ERS power... There is also some debate as to whether this part will be ready for Melbourne as well. So potentially for some of the first races the Renault engines could be handicapped because of this problem with this motor generator."

That is the fourth person to report some information on this same problem... First the Judge from the Jerez paddock reported it directly, then Rob White of Renault Sport F1 alluded to this in his interview of Jan 31st, Gian Carlo Minardi's own article of Feb 13th had an obtuse reference to this, and now this Scarborough podcast interview describes it more directly.

Newey also designed a car in which Webber crashed heavily and yet walked away from.

Senna's death was preventable from a track safety standpoint. Imola, specifically the Tamburello corner, was a deathtrap. Senna's death still haunts Newey to this day. Neither you or I is privy to the information that best explains what happened to Senna's car on that day in May. Mechanical failure looks to be the most likely but to suggest that Newey is somehow liable for Senna's death is shameful.

On another note the W05 looks like the class of the field. The RB10 looks to be in trouble after another dismal day today. Hamilton for 2014 WDC anyone?
