Some nice comparison shots of the upgraded RP20 vs the old configuration from AMuS
What can be the reason RP rushed for the rear suspension upgrade when the rules clearly allowed them to modify it without using up any tokens next year? Do they have identified a clear direction for development aligned with new aero update from Mugello or were they covering for possible continued Ferrari protest leading to rule changes?Sidhartha.techie wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 12:42 pmCant find a comparative pic, but the-race is reporting the RP has taken W11s suspension this year, https://the-race.com/formula-1/racing-p ... -rear-end/
Could be both, but FIA clarified that teams can take year old parts without token last week again.NAPI10 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 5:36 pmWhat can be the reason RP rushed for the rear suspension upgrade when the rules clearly allowed them to modify it without using up any tokens next year?

So I suppose that's a positive verdict on the suspension updates, while the aero ones are a bit hard to tell (with Stroll's non-race here, and lack of comparison due to Perez' early retirement the race before), and Stroll in general tending to lag Perez in qualifying
