Formula One's most successful team, Scuderia Ferrari have unveiled their brand-new machine, the F1-75 with which the Italian outfit's young driver pair of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will race in the sport's 73rd season.
So, can you please tell me how porpoising was reduced? Do we have a measurement for this?rafeyahmad wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 14:17What nonsense.tpe wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 14:08So...
The introduced a new floor to solve porpoising, porpoising is still there and there seems no progress compared to RB. Merc is close now, much earlier than anyone thought, apart probably from the die heart fans.
Are we still sure that F1-75 doesn't need any updates?
Because the floor is not THAT different from what we have already see.
They didn't introduce the floor to completely "solve porpoising". It was to reduce it so they can run the car lower. The ultimate solution will come with the rear suspensions in the 2nd half of the season. People absorb misleading headlines and then get disappointed when the team doesn't deliver on them.
The updates have worked as reported by Duchessa. Just because you can't visibly see the differences or the difference to RB doesn't seem that big doesn't mean they haven't. RB have also lost 5 kgs. It's all relative.

The straight line speed difference has disappeared completely. So I think if Lec takes pole he might be able to hold off Ver on the straights.
Tire management is what killed Ferrari's last couple races. And there doesn't seem to be an improvement there.
I don't know what data you are looking at. You have seen FP3 race sim on soft for both Ferraris right?mzso wrote:Tire management is what killed Ferrari's last couple races. And there doesn't seem to be an improvement there.
I wonder why it's such a weak spot for them, when in the first races it was an advantage.
Tyre management looked fine in FP at Miami right?dialtone wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 21:37I don't know what data you are looking at.

No one knew, they had red flags all over, Carlos crashed, only managed 3 or 4 laps in race sim on one car alone AND there was nothing else they could do anyway, to avoid porpoising they had run harder suspension and chew tyres in the slow.organic wrote:Tyre management looked fine in FP at Miami right?dialtone wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 21:37I don't know what data you are looking at.

I remember f1 pundits saying that flaps/slots on the floor are good to control porpoising, but reduce the max downforce of the car.tpe wrote: ↑21 May 2022, 15:15So, can you please tell me how porpoising was reduced?

I don't have any data, of course, so I just comment with what is visible from the TV. And I didn't see any improvement.
Angle of attack depends on the angle of the incoming airflow. Since the RB and the Ferrari have different bodywork shapes, it's a bit more complicated than just looking at the wing itself. Air could be down washing or up washing (gasp) a small amount towards the wing, increasing or decreasing the effective angle of attack.
