踏入自2009年大改例後的第二年, 仍然存在灰色地帶讓 "聰明人" 鑽空子, 或者可以說, 是2009年FIA意外地對 double deck diffuser 開綠燈所種下的後果 : 博得過 !
都是 diffuser 有關, 不過今次的手法就真係礙眼左d
There is some unease about teams utilising start motor holes to make their diffusers more effective. Following concerns about a number of teams exploiting the area for added performance.
所指何物? 即係: 以前大家都曾經見到的鏡頭 : 賽車入 pit 換胎/加油時, 車尾會有 mechanic 手持電動 starter (類似長棒物體) 以備萬一架車意外死火時, 水平直線插入波箱重新撻著引擎. 其中必須穿越過 diffuser, 那麼 diffuse 便需要開個洞好讓 starter 僅僅通過. 那個正常來講是圓形的小洞, 直徑和棒的理應極接近. 而家竟然 "奇形怪狀" 兼冇必要地大左
F1's technical regulations state that a hole can exist in the diffuser to allow access for an engine start motor. Article 3.12.7 states: "A single break in the surface is permitted solely to allow the minimum required access for the device referred to in Article 5.15. [supposed to refer to starter motor, although this is Article 5.16]".
There is no definition of what the 'minimum' requirement is though - and some teams have used exotically shaped starter motors to allow themselves to fit sculpted holes in the diffuser that produce an aerodynamic benefit.
今次 FIA 決定 "做野" :-
It is expected that teams will be asked by the FIA to alter their double diffuser designs prior to scrutineering for next week's Australian grand prix.
During the season opener in Bahrain last weekend, McLaren had been told that the diffuser fitted to its MP4-25 may not reappear in Melbourne.
McLaren had reportedly aerodynamically exploited the hole for the external engine starter, making it much bigger than necessary and thereby gaining another diffuser level.
Renault and Mercedes will also have to modify their diffusers for the same reason ahead of round two of the 2010 world championship.
Rumours also suggest that one or two other cars may also be the subject of FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting's concerns.
big 4 中排三和四的老麥同平治都被點名.....如果下一站澳洲被逼 "還原", big 4 會唔會變成剩低 big 2 ???
正正經經, 好好地埋頭苦幹啦! 走精面, 始終不是正道, 走甩得幾多次吖!!!
尤其是平治, 前身是 Brawn GP : 09年 double deck diffuser 的主角, 再前身的 Honda 再前身的 Bar : 05年的 "秘密油缸" 事件, 再再前身的 Tyrrell 在1984年同樣以非法燃油呃稱...... 堪稱 "蠱惑天王" 呢!
聽吓人地正正經經, 憑真才實學的 Adrian Newey 點講 :
Adrian Newey admitted he suspected at least two teams of pushing the rules.
"I will not say names, only that Ferrari is not among them," the Briton is quoted as saying.
big 2 果然係 big.
