Alfa Romeo C39

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Those sidepods look small, the livery is hiding it.

It almost look like that they can just peel off that snake-skin and have the normal livery under :o
It's probably just a vinyl on top of the painted car

The sidepods remind me of the red bull.

This "snake skin" livery isn't the new look, is it?

I assume this is an introduction thing and we'll see the real livery in testing?

Pushrod on upright
The car is running with a Pushrod On Upright set up, often termed (POU or PROU). Many teams run with this set up, the offset from the pushrod pickup and the king pin axis is a tuneable set up parameter. I have seen F1 set up sheets with figures of 8mm offset.

I had it explained to me by an ex-f1 designer: "When the car turns the outside wheel will drop and inside will rise, this helps grip at low-speed. Its often used in conjunction with Anti-Ackermann suspension (meaning that the outside wheel steers faster than the inside), this can then result in an overall reduction in front-ride-height as you add steering lock."

Oh I see! Thanks, I noticed that abbreviation on several of the threads on this years cars and could not make anything out of it, other than it was something about the suspension/uprights.
