@SteveEaton39415 @RBR_Daily There is nothing disrespectful about it. A driver shouldn't be competitive in his first race never having driven this type of car before, against someone of similar talent who has.

@SGrizzy1 @sthef33 @RBRHub Look at the qualifying times.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@sthef33 @RBRHub Have they not been making inroads almost every weekend? You guys act as if they’re standing still.

@TheVocalHero @RockChalk981 @racepluscom @GazzettaFerrari And where does that kinetic energy come from?

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@donmega142 @the_zb_ Merc getting ADUO is a major loss for Ferrari.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@F1twtt @F1GuyDan False. They hired mostly Merc engineers.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@robertofunoat Oh please, same story every time with Ferrari. I remember 2023 when the “new” old engine was supposed to be 30 HP stronger. Total bollocks every single time, media selling clicks to tifosi.

@Confrade51 @NotFifthGear Porsche making EVs nearly bankrupted the company. Maybe that’s the example you ought to use.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@Sanctiog @brakeboosted I don't think so. They're in a good position regardless of what happens with the rules, we can see that in their current engine performance.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@brakeboosted @PolePositionist How much do you think this thing is actually worth? How much is the drag reduction between an open wing and an upside down open wing really? I feel like these 5-10kph estimates may be a bit exaggerated. Wouldn't be surprised if it's more like 3-4kph.

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews This would be a more realistic illustration of the rotational axis and attachment to the second/third element. It will be plain to see once we have better pictures.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews You’ve misplaced the rotational axis obviously, it’s too high. In reality it sits below the trailing edge of the wing where the bulk of the downforce is generated. Hence why the wing wants to rotate clockwise when closed.

What is a fake diagram supposed to prove?

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews Which direction the wing wants to rotate entirely depends on where you put the rotational axis along the wing. If it’s up high the wing wants to rotate counter clockwise, and if it’s low it’s vice versa. That was the first thing I told. You’re giving a clueless impression.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews You’re slow. The stops are there because the wing wants to rotate clockwise (from the perspective of the camera) when the wing is closed. All the force is on the stops. You still haven’t understood this? You think they just put the stops for fun?

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews It’s all over X just search for RB22.

It’s very easy to design a mechanical stop for forward rotation. Your assumptions were simply incorrect.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews The yellow marked structure here is the hinge/hook. It mechanically prevents the wing from rotating towards the actuator when in corners, it “hooks” the main plane. To open the wing the actuator pushes the wing in the other rotational direction, against the force of the airflow.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews The wing would only rotate forward if it was rotating FREELY. It can’t rotate freely because it’s held in place by hooks that go under the mainplane.

To open the wing the actuator pushes backwards on the wing and it rotates counter to where the airflow wants it to rotate.

[CASKA @CASKA50036909]

@hahjayy @Tinaminho0 @verstappenews Depending on where you put the rotational axis on the upper elements it will determine how the wing wants to rotate freely.
