The flo-viz does not entail a change on the car. It's by all means and purposes paint. An aero rake for instance will be a change in bodywork, so that is not allowed. If they ran legal bodywork pieces during practice, they will be allowed though to put those on.lio007 wrote:Don't know where to post, but during today's tyre test McLaren did flow-viz-runs...
I thouhgt there is no development work allowed.

It's a little bit of a walk with agreements made that the tests will not allow development work. You can't forbid the teams to put on a different paint. They are probably not getting too much out of it; it's purely about collecting data.
. So if anybody could bring more clarity, that would be very much appreciated. I would understand flo-viz since it does not entitle a change to the car, but an aero rake is a different story.
I just understood, no new parts. The Aero rake could be for analyzing the wake of the new tires.turbof1 wrote:Ok, now I am officially confused myself
So they'll try 4 variants of ultra-softs as well as new chemical material to re-introduce "the cliff" on existing compounds."We've one shot for next season, and we don't know if it will work the way we want it to, but we are trying to bring back a 'cliff' into it.
"While it may create more pitstops, what we don't know is if it will create any differences in strategy, which is the ideal solution.
"So we're looking at it, and we've a couple of concepts we'll be testing, but it's very hard to get that right with only one test session."
The primary concern for Pirelli is ensuring the ultra-soft tyre works, with four variants overall to be tested as it tries to find the best solution.
"The ultra-soft is the real priority," added Hembery.
"We've four different proposals for the ultra-soft, but it will be completely blind for the teams so they won't know what we are looking at.
I just wish Pirelli would stop cocking about and just make the very best tyres they possibly can.ME4ME wrote:From AutosportSo they'll try 4 variants of ultra-softs as well as new chemical material to re-introduce "the cliff" on existing compounds."We've one shot for next season, and we don't know if it will work the way we want it to, but we are trying to bring back a 'cliff' into it.
