ФИА признала конструкцию колесных дисков «Мерседеса» легальной

фиарседес бенц))) ничего удивительного

ФИАрдессы

Это мало на что повлияет. Проблемы Мерсов в Остине оказались не в этом. А в том что пришлось после квалы устранять поломки, и левая вроде часть болида оказалась намного тяжелее правой. Из-за этого и был такой износ, и машина так себе проходила некоторые повороты.

"After the race , the Mercedes technicians found that the wheel loads were unevenly distributed. The right side of the car was heavier than the left. And that’s significant. The difference from right to left was a staggering 50 kilograms. A little less at Valtteri Bottas . Maybe because Hamilton hit a curb in the early stages of the race. The consequence was that the cars were more difficult to steer in left turns.Not possible, they will say. A Formula 1 car is almost symmetrical, even if water and oil cooler are housed on different sides and also have completely different shapes. It did not happen for the first time in the precision sports formula 1 that something like this is getting out of hand.



At Red Bull the same happened in the qualification for the GP Hungary. The difference from one side to the other was 40 kilograms. As a result, the rain tires have heated up differently and Red Bull crashed on the grid for the 7th and 12th places.



The tires are most affected by such a blatant imbalance. Therefore, the Mercedes engineers assume that the tire failure at the GP USA comes to a large extent from the faulty balance. "There’s never a reason for a specific problem, but that was the most serious in logic."Between qualification and race , however, was a major repair. On both engines , the water pumps were exchanged Sunday morning.



For this, the entire rear end had to be disassembled. It can happen that the vehicles were not assembled exactly as they were. Since the repairs took place under Parc fermé conditions, the car was then no longer allowed to weigh and the error was corrected. That would have meant a setup change."

Это ответ ФИА на запрос трехлучевых. Это все не исключает потенциальный протест от Феррарей. Думаю, что силикон далеко убирать не стоит чемпионам.

Что то неудобно стало , лично для меня читать комменты, кто где пишет не понятно, написали там что то новое тоже, не представляю что будет в онлайне гонки.

Блин, а почему тогда ФИА не признать легальность всех наработок Феррари? На хрена они этот цирк устраивают?
