Ferrari and Mercedes both seem to have the same design for the top of their sidepod inlets. Is that design tantamount to the blade-type roll hoop and as such will allow development of the sidepods without having to alter the chassis?
They KNOW it does not matter. They have a top notch CFD program with the whole car well modeled and calibrated to actual tunnel and track testing. Say 10-20 paid aero types for whom this CFD program is second nature. These guys would be motivated to run any idea thru the program. They get some silly idea, they do not hesitate to run it. There might be an optimization feature in the program that automatically runs all the possibilities.JohnsonsEvilTwin wrote:Makes you wonder what the aero department at Ferrari where thinking with the abruptness of it [nose] .

It's Monday. Tomorrow's testing. It's safe to say that the whole grid was on scene. Who said again, that this was the best launch ever? I agree.Tyler wrote:Damn Red Bull Spy! - he was probably sent by Newey!clipsy1H wrote:David Coulthard @therealdcf1

I believe that the crash structure is usually a single beam that lies within the top front of the sidepod. It's position would have an impact on designs like McLaren's last year, but otherwise no.bhallg2k wrote:Ferrari and Mercedes both seem to have the same design for the top of their sidepod inlets.

I guess I need to stop with the word tantamount.Raptor22 wrote:I'm not following you.
What the blade type roll hoop got to do with the side pod inlets?
The side impact crash structure would have more relationship with the inlets.
Could you perhaps expand on where you're going with your question?
