Tech Review: McLaren MCL39 Front Suspension—Part II
If you missed Part I of my deep dive into MCL39’s novel front suspension, see link below… 1/8

Great pic by the real @xaviAeroporn confirms Audi using “decomposed” (multi-link) upper wishbone—in contrast to all others using multi-link lower. Merc, I believe, are only team with “classic” wishbones upper and lower.
Original post for better clarity…
Hi guys,

Ferrari’s inspiration for floor mods 😂

Un lavoro raffinato della #Ferrari sull’aerodinamica della SF-26 che va oltre le forme: concetti estremizzati e utili ad una precisa causa per ottimizzare le potenzialità della vettura italiana

LdM on the #Luce 😂
#SF26 flipper” RW flaps looks—as suggested by some—to be using rack & pinion arrangement in both L & R end-plates. Two actuators need to be synced. Single sided would risk binding if distorted.
Note what look like flap separators/vanes also act as snubbers.

Reposting this ahead of its imminent deployment.
#Ferrari #SF26 RW “flipping” mechanism: As it rotates >180deg. linkage arrangement is not likely. Instead expect a bi-directional worm gear setup—driven by electric servo motor or hydraulic motor.

Should have been LEC

Predicted a month ago by Max.
What (and how) did Max know? 🤷🏻♂️
Max about Mercedes: "Let me tell you something: wait for Melbourne and suddenly see how much power they have. I already know."

👍 Nice glimpse of the “bare” front suspension structural elements vs. the shrouded rear suspension elements.
Looks to be the configuration #CadillacF1Team ran at their first shakedown test.
Nicely illustrated article on #AMR26 by G. Piola but… if blue link is meant to show steering, this is incorrect. This is the lower fwd lateral link.
Steering is ahead of lwr aft link (pics 2 and 3). Last pic shows brace between lower fwd lateral links.
Full article link below.
Good article on how #HondaF1 weren’t able to leverage their experience with last ruleset #F1 engines, with quite insightful comments on how that engine operated:

#F1 #Ferrari #SF26 RW flap “flipping” mechanism, because it rotates >180deg. is likely not linkage arrangement but rather a bi-directional worm gear arrangement—good for non-reversing—driven by electric servo motor or hydraulic motor. Thoughts?

Possible reason/benefit of pelican beak nose of Newey’s #AMR26: “blockage” of flow over FW below nose encourages a certain amount of out-washing, while flow under FW at CL is accelerated to fill low P zone behind bulge? 🤔
