Im more surprised that they would show so much technical information for people to see.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

I got this picture from your R26 section and I'm wondering how this mono spring rear suspension works. Is there a torsion bar inside each rocker as well? So what's that central spring for???

Thank you!
Don't you guys have an article about that?

There is a torsion bar for each rocker and that spring works in pair with third shock absorber.

Does that third shock absorber/spring set work as a anti-roll bar? Is front mounting point of the set free to move or fixed to the gear box?

Thank you again Manchild!!

They aren't really showing any information.

I'm quite sure all the designers in F1 know what the other teams are at with ideas... its the numbers of those ideas thats closely guarded.

A pic can look like it tells alot, but actually says very little useful at the same time.
