Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes AMG F1 W12 rear wing, Azerbaijan Grand Prix The top-down overview shows how much further thicker the wishbone was at the outboard end and how closely aligned the two elements were.

Mercedes introduced a one-off front suspension and brake duct design for the Monaco Grand Prix, featuring a revised wishbone and steering arm layout to improve maneuverability and assist aerodynamically. The team also had the Z-shaped floor cutout that many others copied in the opening few rounds of the season but had an upturn to the rear portion of the floor along with numerous aerodynamic surfaces to help direct the airflow mounted above it.Ī top down overview of the Z-shaped floor cutout used by Mercedes, with a small taper ahead of the first cutout, which then squares off before tapering to the rear ahead of the tyre. Unable to use the fully enclosed holes in the floor it had in the previous few years (inset), the team expected these wavy floor sections to help bridge the aerodynamic performance gap. “From my side I can (accept it), probably they can’t and will never be able to and that’s a problem for them to deal with,” Verstappen said.Mercedes began the season with a new floor design featuring a wavy scroll section and a flap just above it. Verstappen beat Lewis Hamilton in a controversial finish created when the since-fired race director made a late race change in protocol during the season finale that allowed Verstappen to pass Hamilton for the win and the championship. Verstappen, meanwhile, said he knows there are many who will never accept that title. Horner said Verstappen fairly won his 2021 championship. He’s also trying to finish second in the standings behind Verstappen.

Horner said the saga has not distracted Verstappen or teammate Sergio Perez, who on Sunday is trying to become the first Mexican driver to win the Mexico City Grand Prix. “There is a competitive advantage that has been gained by that.” “It’s still a mystery to me how a team can publicly say they submitted comfortably within the cap and what is in contention is some $200k, when in fact they were $1.8 million over, which is not an insignificant number,” said Brown. The FIA found Aston Martin had incorrectly excluded or adjusted 12 separate costs, among them a signing bonus, the costs of desks and chairs, and, like Red Bull, financial discrepancies in catering.

The FIA on Friday also fined Aston Martin $450,000 for a “procedural” violation on its 2021 expenditure submission. Horner had compulsive note-keeping on the entire process, noting Red Bull was informed it was over the cap exactly 19 minutes after Verstappen won his second F1 title on Oct. If you burned our wind tunnel down, it wouldn’t be enough,” said Horner, who also likened Red Bull’s wind tunnel to “a relic of the Cold War.” “I’m sure (any penalty) wouldn’t be enough.

That has direct effect on next year’s car. He said the loss of 10% time in the wind tunnel “represents anywhere between a quarter and a half a second worth of lap time. “That’s an enormous amount of money that is payable within 30 days,” Horner said of the fine. “Not one penny was spent on performance,” said Horner, who shooed away complaints the penalty was too soft.
