Will Merc join the F1 ride height party?
« on: January 15, 2012, 01:53:36 PM »

Ferrari's rumoured to be trying system, is Bob Bell now on the case at Mercedes?               
Does anyone reckon that McLaren or Red Bull are sitting idle. either?  :nono:

 
An update on the Lotus ride height system: Giorgio Piola, who broke the story earlier this week has written that Mercedes are also working on a version of it. Bob Bell moved from Renault to Mercedes in the last 12 months and has hired one of the engineers behind the system.

Mercedes have announced that they will be late releasing the new car, missing the first test and the speculation is that the delay is due partly to this system but also partly to a delay in the complicated F Duct front wing, which they tried out in practice in Japan.

I reckon your right John. If it is "the must have gizmo" for this season I am sure they will all have it in some way shape or form come Australia

Tough to say with RBR.

This is a mechanical trick, not an aero trick.  Is that something Newey can get to work?

I'm sure McLaren will have 3 variations for the first test, and none of them will work until the European season.
