“It’s great” - Mercedes’ front suspension trick scrutinised ahead of F1 Bahrain GP
Various technical innovations on ☂the ꦡMercedes W15 F1 car have caught plenty of attention in the early weeks of 2024.
Sky Sports F1 technical analyst Ted Kravitz is impressed by the work Mercedes have done with their front susp𒊎ension and adjustable wishb﷽one on the W15.
Mercedes have adopted an entirely new ❀car concept for 2024 with their W15 car as they look to return to winning ways.
The team have made significant architecture changes to where various components are housed, while the cockpit position has also changed to appease 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton.
It seems Mercedes⛎ have already pushed th💛e boundaries already in terms of new design innovations.
Their front wing has attracted significant attention because of how it uses a carbon fibre wire to connect the nose by the second and fourth lap - something that has been questioned by other teams and wheꦚther it is legal.
Similarly with their front suspens⛄ion des⛎ign and the wishbone being adjustable.
It should alꦉlow Mercedes to better optimise their car setup at a given weekend depending on the track characteristics.
Answering questions as part of a Q&A on Sky Sports F1's website, Kravitz 💙hailed Merc𓂃edes for their latest innovation, while explaining how it could give them an advantage.
“It's great,” he wrote. “A relatively quick change from what seemღs to be a regular amount of anti-dive to a massive amount of anti-dive, is a useful thing to have.
“But I'd be absolutely 🅠astonished if💖 they changed it in the middle of a race weekend.
“I think it's the kind of thing where they know the circuit they're going to, let's say one where cars struggle to protect their front tyres such as Hu🅘ngary or Abu Dhabi, they'd know where they'd want that particular suspension geometry and they'd bring the car with it already fitted.
“But it's nice to know that they can change it quite🌊 quickly.”
Mercedes look to have made a step forward with this year's challenger following three days of running in Bahrain for pre-season tes♍ting.
Both drivers have been impressed with the feeling of t꧒he W15, but it remains to be seen whether it c👍an challenge the Red Bull RB20 for regular race victories in 2024.
