Ever wondered HOW the DRS works? 👀

I've drawn this scheme for you!🔧
🔵OFF
🟢ON

The Actuator (in red) pulls point B to the right.
⬇️
Point B pulls point C, which rotates around the hinge D.
⬇️
The upper wing plane ('CD') decreases its angle of attack, reducing the drag!

The angle of attack is defined as the angle between the air direction and the line that connects the wing's leading edge and trailing edge.

Reducing it also reduces downforce, but that's fine on the straight!

In Indycar, aero setup is even crazier than #F1!🛠

Example: ‘17 HONDA
Top: Low-Drag Spec (speedways)
Bottom: High-Downf. (road courses)

For the latter, rules allow ~100hp more: despite that, the terminal speed gets SEVENTY km/h lower!

Drag doubles: (675/575)(390/320)^3 = 210%!

THE CRAZIEST F1 PHOTO YOU'LL SEE TODAY!🔥

Cornering produces huge🔵Lateral forces (➡️Fy), equal to the🟢Inertial Force (-m*ay)

The resulting lateral load transfer increases the outer tyre🟣Load (⬆️Fz)

The rear left rim pokes out of the tyre, and the front right lifts!🤯

LATERAL LOAD TRANSFER

Corner to the right➡️The load transfers from the right-hand tyres to the left-hand tyres.

LONGITUDINAL LOAD TRANSFER

Exiting the corner➡️The load transfers from the front to the rear tyres.

Most loaded tyre: Rear Left
Least loaded: Front Right

The consequences are clear:

- The huge lateral force on the rear-left wheel shifts the tyre to the right compared to the rim. Static waves appear, too!
- The inertial force makes the chassis roll to the left.
- The unloaded front-right tyre lifts.
- The suspension becomes asymmetric.

There are also other consequences (Camber, Toe variation, ...?) which are clearly visible from the image.

Comment if you find them!👀

NEW MCL39 ANALYSIS 🧐

Key points:

🟡 Much more aggressive anti-dive suspension design➡️Aim is to stabilise aero under braking
🔴 Vertical side inlets
🔵 Larger, oval airbox inlet
⚫️ New nose?


- Reworked engine cover outlet (not shown)
- Epic livery🔥

Looks like a solid step already!

Consider that, as we approach the last year with this ruleset, visual changes will be smaller (as teams by know all have a working concept, and simply refine it).

Even more so for a WCC-winning team, that has a lot to lose and not as much to gain from a total overhaul

McL is playing mind games already: this photo depicts the OLD car, wrapped in the new testing livery.

The sidepods are vertical indeed.
