Their reputed to have goten to grips with the coanda effect pretty quickly - somthing which is at odds with the teams reputation fr slightly unrefined aerodynamics. I have a feeling that we will see a good evolution in next years car over this years.n smikle wrote:Also did they get the hang of the coanda exhaust? Didn't hear them complaining...
On the other hand, perhaps they buy more then just the system. (expertise on how to make it work as well)Leendert82 wrote:Marrussia with KERS for the first time will be interesting. Its an expensive option which rewards 4-5 tenths of a seconds if it maximised the performance of it. Marrussia saw that Petrov's Caterham car easily passed Pic's Marrusia car using KERS which costs them their valuable 10th spot.
First part of the season and pre-season they will spend allot of time in maximizing their KERS system.
KERS however has its dissadvantages as well as the car will have to be designed differently to fit the KERS system, which then might compramise the cars air flow and downforce.
It will be interesting to see what the 2013 car brings now its fully designed based on Windtunnel and not on pure CFD.
Willthe car be closer to Caterham in pure performance, I think they will, however only they get the max out of their new package, which we learned from other team is going to be difficult at the beginning. (takes time)
