Also I very much doubt the existence of different settings (at least until 2013; brake by wire will probably change things a lot), since the whole braking system was completely mechanic/hydraulic and it cannot sense the car's speed. This is the reason why some drivers are adjusting their brake balance during a flying lap in qualifying (shifting it more to the rear for corners where the approaching speed is lower).
He also mentioned last year that the master cylinders used by Mercedes gave different feel to the pedal which he found difficult to predict. I bet Paddy Lowe knows just how he likes it though.SiLo wrote:His issue was that the car was rising as he was braking hard, rather than standing on end like he was used to at McLaren. The FRIC system would rise slightly at the front to keep the entire car flat as it braked hard, so the braking per se isn't different, but the way the car reacts whilst doing so is.
This could be relevant with the new braking systems as they might not react in the same way as previous systems. Just because brake bias is the same doesn't mean the system will feel the same. It would be like driving a Porsche and the driving a BMW, the brakes won't feel the same in both but they might be using very similar systems.
Great spot, I'm convinced you're right (doesn't take much to persuade me but still).Owen.C93 wrote:A new Mercedes engine promo was released with a 3D car render, it looked more accurate than your usual team promo render but the nose has been made shorter and slightly higher which ties in with the rumor of making it interact with the front wing less. Probably nothing but thought I'd post it as there have been quite a few times in the past where 3D renders reveal future updates.

Funny how we're yet to see a radiator solution.

Just the typical RB Thing, i don't think any Team invests more Money than RB, well maybe Ferrari.What makes me laugh is where Horner says "They invested more, they invested earlier," as if to make excuse as to why RBR are behind, because they invested more in last years car than others did before switching. However I clearly remember in 2009 when McLaren and Ferrari were behind and sighted the reason being they invested to the very end in 2008 where others didn't, Horner said in an interview words to the effect "These are just excuse from McLaren and Ferrari, teams with budgets like their's would have had two teams one working on '08 car and the other working on '09 car. We've just done a better job."

The nose on the rendering is not sufficiently different to the original and I'd be surprised if they would've had problems with getting that through the crash test.Blaze1 wrote:I may be wrong, but I don't believe it is the new nose, as the rest of the car in the 3D rendering wasn't even equipped with the Bahrain aero updates.
