The Aston Martin tweak that confirms a key part of the Mercedes F1 revolution
Mercedes has been working on a major overhaul of its Formula 1 car after realizing that its previous approach was not successful. Team boss Toto Wolff has stated that almost every component of the car has been changed in order to have a chance at getting back to the front of the grid. One critical change that has been confirmed is the switch to a push-rod rear suspension, which was also seen on the new Aston Martin AMR24. Aston Martin is a customer of Mercedes and therefore has to adopt the same layout as the German manufacturer. The push-rod rear suspension layout allows for better manipulation of airflow, resulting in more downforce. Williams will also be taking this suspension direction as they receive components from Mercedes. They have teased some interesting changes in the rear suspension that will be revealed in Bahrain.
