Points noted from the
Image |
|
·
Internally moulded
airbox, smoother inside, rough outside ·
V shaped gearbox oil
cooler ·
Shuttle or T type
antiroll-antipitch bar, this was seen in the Silverstone image and appears
identical but without the third spring. ·
Made up of a
vertical bar pivoted at its base, a horizontal shuttle bar that connects via
links to the suspension linkage(Bell Crank), a third spring\damper connects
to the centre of the shuttle bar and the gearbox. ·
The Damper appears
to be offset from the shuttle type antiroll bar. Perhaps its been detached
while the car is set up ·
Thick vertical tube
that provides roll resistance extends well clear of the shuttle bar, perhaps
these are clamped together and the shuttle bar is raised to provide more
resistance rather than changing the bar. ·
The drop links for
the shuttle bar connect to the outer most part of the Bell crank. ·
The dampers for each
wheel connect the outer part of the bell crank and a mounting on the gearbox
near the interface with the engine, ·
The dampers feature
a large white bump rubber which judging by the length of damper rod visible,
would not appear to be compressed until a large amount of damper travel has
been used. ·
The rear movement is
very small and highlights the large amount of damper travel the large ratio
bell crank produces for small wheel movements ·
The dampers have a
clamp mounting the rear wheel travel sensors, these also connect to the bell
crank. ·
The fairing over the
rear toe link does not cover the drive shaft (a barely visible gold line) but
must stretch to the maximum size permitted. ·
The upper wishbone
is in carbon and mounts via spherical bearings and not flexures. ·
The complicated rear
brake ducts, there’s a large rounded plate enclosing the inside of the wheel
Rim and the duct extends some way forward almost to the front of the tyre. ·
Visible amongst the
suspension members are several pieces of permanent bodywork, one square
vertical piece fits between the V of the upper wishbone ·
The undercut of the
coke bottle shape on the sidepods is visible below the pushrod and curves
form vertical up to an almost horizontal position ·
The rear carbon
fibre impact structure starts almost at the rear of the differential, keeping
the length of the metallic gearbox casting to a minimum ·
Rear wing adjustment
slots, suggest the endplate is the same as used for triple plane higher down
force set up and not purely a low incidence version. |
