DIRECTO: Test Montmelo 2012 -- Dia 4 (Semana 2)

Gary Anderson brutal con el Ferrari:

"I have to admit I don't understand the reasoning behind some of the design features on the Ferrari. At the rear, for example, the bodywork where the exhaust comes out is in the area of the main airflow into what we call the 'coke-bottle', where it sweeps in between the rear wheels. This is a major creator of total downforce, and by placing bodywork there it seems they've thrown that downforce away in chasing the much smaller gains to be had from the exhausts. I hear they have some new bodywork in production to change this. Likewise with the pull-rod front suspension they've adopted. With a more traditional push-rod design, you can tune it to change the weight transfer across the car depending on whether it's in low- or high-speed corners. The pull-rod doesn't have that facility - the only advantage seems to be that it might integrate with the airflow off the front wing a bit better. But that's a gnat's difference compared to losing something more influential."

Dudo mucho que un periodista sepa más que un ingeniero.

Hombre, Gary es un respectado ex-diseñador de F1 (Brabham y Jordan entre otros), solo que ahora esta como analista técnico en Autosport y la BBC. Hablar desde luego que sabe de lo que habla.

No se pero yo opino que la F1 ha avanzado bastante desde esa epoca.

Diselo a Rory Byrne....

Precisamente y no lo digo ahora yo no soy de los que tengo fe en rory byrne (lo siento por ti truzone que se que es uno de tus idolos jeje) ojo no digo que no sea un genio pero se ha pasado unos años fuera de esto y debe de estar oxidado.
