The Game-Changing Red Bull Trick that has F1 Rivals Trembling

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Are we seeing a new trend this year in Formula 1, prompted by Red Bull? It seems so, even if according to some, it involves a ‘horrible’ trick.

Red Bull, McLaren, and Stake Sauber have adopted a split suspension philosophy, with pull-rod suspension at the front and push-rod at the back of the car. This design lowers the car’s center of gravity, providing stability in changes of direction and reducing the diving effect under braking and acceleration. Pull-rod suspension allows the car to remain flatter to the ground, improving aerodynamic performance. It also saves weight in the car by using thinner pull rods. However, implementing pull-rod suspension is challenging for the technical team and mechanics, as the suspension elements are attached low and interfere with other components such as the pedals. Overall, the change in philosophy is aimed at utilizing the suspension as an aerodynamic tool to optimize and maintain consistent performance.
