F1 2014 testing in Spain

Description:

The most intriguing thing about McLaren’s design for F1 2014 is that when the car is at higher ride height, the aerodynamic parts will almost entirely close the opening at the upper part of the diffuser. This helps in working at low speeds. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: F1 2014 testing in Spain


1
F1 2014 Testing At Jerez McLarens Secret
Uncovered
2
  • The principal technical discussion topic of the
    second day of F1 2014 testing in Spain is
    McLarens inventive rear suspension design.
    McLaren has fastened a huge aerodynamically
    sketched blocker to each of the hindmost
    suspension links.
  • This model is intended to endow the car with both
    more downward force at lower speeds and lessen
    grind at greater speeds.

How the suspension design functions
  • The aerodynamically outlined portions function as
    structures to block the airflow coming out of the
    Coke bottle region as it comes to the rear of the
    diffuser. Thus, a region of low pressure behind
    these blockers is created. This will in turn
    enhance the velocity of the airflow roving at the
    base of the car, producing more downward force
    emanating from under the floor.
  • Previously, the rear beam wing performed the same
    work. F1 2014 regulations have however
    illegalized that, prompting teams to search for
    fresh ways to cater for the same.

The Suspension Invention Already Reaping Rewards
  • The suspension design could be reason enough why
    Jenson Buttons McLaren was capped fastest in F1
    2014 second day of pre - season testing at Jerez
    in Spain. Button outdid everyone in the official
    wet - weather running in daybreak, in spite of
    the MP4 - 29 not having been seen at all on the
    first day of the event.

McLarens F1 2014 Design is a Twofold Whammy
  • The aerodynamic design thus delivers a twofold
    advantage in that it endows you with
  • More downward force when braking and in slower
    corners and
  • Reduced drag at greater speeds
  • This suspension design is essentially McLarens
    hush-hush big stick because if it works perfectly
    as already thought, it is not a design that will
    be copied overnight as it is reliant on various
    design constraints at the rear of the F1 car.
