@brakeboosted Looks that way but the imagine is AI “enhanced”—see how OMR logo is mutilated—so needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Good spot here. Yes, it has been moved. They've designed the upper wishbone rear linkage with multiple pickup points as Mercedes did a couple years ago or so IIRC. The inboard pickup points use a titanium clevis that's fixed via structural epoxy adhesive or mechanical fasteners like bolt/screws into the chassis. This is not something that can be added in after the fact. So they've designed in some flexibility from day 0.

Have Ferrari changed position of the rearmost, upper wishbone, on the front suspension? Left is old spec, right is new Monza spec. I think there’s a change.

@brakeboosted Italian press insinuating that a novel solution by 1 or 2 of the defectors to Audi didn’t give the expected results so this engine was late contingency plan that wasn’t afforded sufficient gestation period. New design started late but w/ ADUO, almost ready. True? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's almost startling to think how a 30 hp came about for power units that, underneath all the complex operation of the electrical component, have gotten a fair bit simpler, and not to be forgotten, the architecture has remained unchanged. To be closer to Audi and behind RBPT, who are both new entrants, is something that should not be treated lightly. It's slightly embarrassing if I stop the pampering and put it as bluntly as I feel it. If this doesn't prompt some aggression out of the team then I fear nothing ever will. I need to see a team that is willing to fail spectacularly in the bid to fight for something meaningful. You're so close whilst fighting with 9 fingers tied behind your back. Almost impressive but incredibly frustrating because you tied them yourself.

@tiff_tv As bad as was being predicted since over a year ago… and still they insisted on pushing this abomination forward.

Still it will be stained by the driver being a passenger to software algorithms. I care just as much about the driving aspect as I care about being entertained on a Sunday. It's why many of us got into the sport - seeing drivers drive flat out at almost incomprehensible speeds through impossible corners. All of that is missing, and you are not going to convince anyone who took an interest in the sport because of the driving challenge that the racing on Sunday is a good enough reason for every other aspect of it to suck. Just like you are not going to convince football fans that 15 goals a match is better if it minimizes the challenge for the players. I hope that clears it up for you.

The sport is actually in a very bad place. Once the novelty of the unknowns wears off, and Ferrari's stop entertaining us on Sunday, we'll come to realize it.

Wow! This is a real rarity in the UK, spotted & snapped in Morden, south London, earlier this morning. It’s a ’63 Mercury Monterey 4-door sedan, which was a ‘breezeway’ car, in other words it was equipped with a roll-down rear screen. It also had a 390cu in (6391cc) V8 engine. 💪

@adrianfclarke What are your thoughts on the pointed rear door bottom edge? I can just imagine this grinding itself into a tall curb. All because the door bottom is designed to conform to the sill. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Alright, let's do this thing. My thoughts on the Neue Klasse i3. A 🧵(because I want to post more than 4 images). First of all, let's understand what we are looking at. This is the i3, which sits on the same platform as the recently released iX3 - pure EVs with their cells in the floor. This is NOT the next 3 series - not exactly. The ACTUAL next 3 series will continue to built on its current CLAR platform - but it will be extensively reskinned inside and out to resemble this car - so the i3 and the 320i will look the same but be substantially different under the skin. 1/n

@AndreaGalante__ 👍 Sicuramente il tempo di attuazione è più lungo per l’ala posteriore, essendo circa 215 a 225 gradi, ma non 270 credo. Utilizzando 2 attuatori—anche più probabile per ragioni di torsione dei flaps—la velocità di rotazione, e quindi di esecuzione, va ridotto.

#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. Pic @AlbertFabrega

Many people are surprised to see a compressed gas bottle on an #F1 car. In fact they gave run these since the 80s! The engines do not run coil valve springs, but a pneumatic valve return system PVRS. This bottle is for nitrogen to keep the system pressurised. #F1tech #ChineseGP

@pedrosota71 @AlbertFabrega @ScarbsTech Hydraulic just because similar type actuator used on the baseline wing flap actuation. Single actuator possible w/ v. stiff flap ass’y and low rotation resistance. If electric, would likely not be a rack but rather rotary actuator:

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. pic: Race Pictures/@GPblog_com

@EngDesignIng @AlbertFabrega @ScarbsTech Haha 😂🧐 thanks. Seriously, I'd rule out a duplicate hydraulic system; it's more likely an electric motor or some new electromagnet system, I don't know 🤷‍♂️

@EngDesignIng @AlbertFabrega @ScarbsTech What surprises me most is the little resistance it offers with the engine off; it possibly acts with some different system that retains in a way other than hydraulics. "It can be seen that the mechanics can turn the Macarena with their hands"⬇️
