The current F1 gearbox uses a seamless shift. The normal gear change process is the former stage out gear → neutral → next stage in gear, but the seamless shift is a system in which the transmission torque loss time is zero at the time of upshifting by setting the next in-gear gear to the front-end out gear, the effect of 0.4 seconds reduction per lap It is said. This was introduced for the first time in the F1 world, in fact it was a story of the era when it was supplying with BAR to the engine in 2005 at Honda.
In other words, "His post-shift oscillation", the general manager of Hasegawa said that the vibration called "guts, guts" of the shift-up of the seamless shift is caused by resonance with the vibration of Honda's PU Become.
Of course, because it is resonance, even by adjusting the mapping on the Honda side, it is possible to relax some of the vibration. However, if the source of the vibration is in a seamless shift, it will not be a fundamental solution unless McLaren's gearbox is improved.
GIOVINAZZI SET FOR SAUBER DRIVE IN CHINA AND BAHRAIN
Pascal is out. Ferrari is gonna get their boy in there. I think it's great. Not only does Ferrari get to see their academy driver get some experience, but they also get to stick it to Merc by not letting their guy in the car. Clever girl
FIA president Jean Todt has indicated, however, that he would like to see F1 embark upon a slightly different path – where technology is pulled back to help improve the show."If you take me through a Formula 1 car, I think the cars are too sophisticated, probably too high-technology, which is not needed for the sport," explained Todt.
"I am not thinking of having an autonomous car or connected cars in Formula 1, but that's what the world is facing and what manufacturers are facing with electronics on the car and powertrains, which are completely different. So we have to see how we can translate that into motorsport, and of course include that in Formula 1. He added: "Nevertheless, I feel it is too expensive, too complicated, in a way too reliable.
"I think we are considering introducing [fuel cells] in some category of motor sport in the future. But if we speak about F1, F1 will still be run with the more conventional engine. That does not mean we are intending to go back to what we were running ten years ago. That will never happen."
I am fully confident the FIA has no plan for what will happen in 2021 and we are gonna end up with **** cars, **** racing, and moar complaints about the state of F1. I sure hope Brawn can work his magic but this is worse than when he arrived at Ferrari or during the darkest days of the Honda/Brawn F1 saga.
This seems like a good read and what Scarbs says all makes sense, but I'm not sure if all of his ideas are on point. I think I need to read it a few moar times and digest it. I'm not saying he's wrong, I just need moar time to vet the ideas in my mind.
I’m a fan of active aerodynamics, this could help with overtaking, but I see this much more as an efficiency tool, so tied more closely to the power unit and environmental regulations. Still it would be good to consider, bodywork that adapts around the lap. Wins that flatten for straight, steepen on braking and corners, sidepods that morph shape to reduce cooling to suit the conditions, brake ducts open only in under braking. There’s a huge performance and efficiency potential here, but outside the boundaries of a simple overtaking rule set.
Considering the number of pleb spec production cars with active grilles I don't see why F1 isn't allowing that to some extent. Would be perfect for that "tech transfer" that they're always trying to sell the OEMs on.
MCL32 cleans up well...and just in time for Easter too! Hopefully the sponsorship deal is long term. It's now one of the nicer looking cars on the grid.
