Kind of surprised that they will lower the rear wing again. One of the reason wasn't safety, to improve rear view?eri wrote:How F1 2017 could look like

And from the top view you can see that the Ferrari wishbone has a distinctly smaller trailing edge.. maybe ferrari uses them as flow conditioners and red bull not so much.. who the hell knows....ferkan wrote:F1AT made comparison for us today

Notice thickness of wishbones on Ferraris front suspension.
yes and the perfect answer to someone who was pretending that ferrari's wishbones weren't that fat. Great comparison pic!!!1ferkan wrote:F1AT made comparison for us today

and you can also see that the Ferrari has a taller front tyre and an even taller rear tyre! You cannot tell anything from such photos. And it is not the wishbone that you see, but purely a carbon fibre cover over the wishbone.giantfan10 wrote:And from the top view you can see that the Ferrari wishbone has a distinctly smaller trailing edge.. maybe ferrari uses them as flow conditioners and red bull not so much.. who the hell knows....ferkan wrote:F1AT made comparison for us today

Have a look at the differences in front wing philosophy! Ferrari are moving air away from the side of the car thus allowing the rads to be cooled by air from under the car. The rads are lower and so cog is lower. Red bull is directing air over the front wing and into the intakes, so need a higher opening. Who is right and who is wrong? Who knows, but both have their reasons for their own designs, and thank goodness that there are differences!Fulcrum wrote: Ferrari could locate the intake higher. I wonder why their philosophy dictates it being in its current location? Is it their interpretation of aerodynamics, or do they have internal configurations that dictate this placement?
Rear wings were raised to reduce the impact of wake on following cars after a lot of research from the OWG, not that it matters because F1 seems to be on a path to self destruction, brought on by those at the top milking it dry and rules dictated by the quickest/richest teams.miguelalvesreis wrote:Kind of surprised that they will lower the rear wing again.

-Off topic but I don't think you can use the words "a lot of research" and OWG in the same sentence.krisfx wrote:Rear wings were raised to reduce the impact of wake on following cars after a lot of research from the OWG, not that it matters because F1 seems to be on a path to self destruction, brought on by those at the top milking it dry and rules dictated by the quickest/richest teams.miguelalvesreis wrote:Kind of surprised that they will lower the rear wing again.

Exactly, these are different suspension arrangements. Simply no point to compare thickness.Manfer wrote:The top wishbone on the Ferrari also has the steering rod inside. It's not an entire wishbone. It has the carbon sheath over both the components, where as the redbull has its steering arm much lower. The red bulls lower wishbones are webbed like the merc, which means they can be thinner and wider. The ones on the Ferrari are not. So that might explain the thickness differential
And what makes you think that's not sufficient to do the research?SR71 wrote:

They had a budget of like 1 or 2 million.
Merc probably spent more then that on the W floor.
