Mercedes really killing the game right na

The main idea is to reduce drag on the straights and the by product is improved tire wear.

I’m guessing it passes the rulebook because “active” suspension is probably defined as the suspension being adjusted by the car itself.

I’m impressed because its a relatively simple solution.

Nah not just the car itself. The driver, nor the team, are allowed to adjust the suspension while the car is "live". For instance, a driver can't adjust the ride height from the car, nor can the team remotely from pit. Of course, the car can't be programmed to do it either. The workaround here is essentially in it's branding. It's not adjusting suspension, it is "steering". Mercedes figured out a way to get the camber to adjust to the the function of the steering wheel, probably in a way that defines it more as "steering the front wheels on a different axis" than adjusting toe-in camber.

I'm sure they've figured out a very clever way to move certain parts of the suspension, or created a part that is allowed to move (like a vertical control arm) that doesn't fall under the existing umbrella of what suspension that must remain static is.

Stick around long enough and it'll start making sense.

Hmm Binotto says he thinks they are behind Merc but hope to have a car to beat them as the season wears on.

Says they have no spec 2 to come for the next test.

Is he lying or setting expectations like Merc did last year?

DAS banned for 2021, but Mercedes can use it this season

Win or lose,there's nothing like Ferrari tears.

2020 Pre-season Testing Thread - Page 10

They hate Lewis on this forum, and can't countenance that he might be able to match Schumacher this year.

Just need to implement Triple Axis Steering now but only use 2 axes

Second week of testing.

Lewis runs a horrible lap, all in the gravel 8f 4 tenths down after the 2nd sector.

Still goes fastest.

On a compound a step harder than the others.
