P1racenews AI automatic summary:
RacingNews365’s Paolo Filisetti explains just how Red Bull’s parc ferme trick system works, with two different settings.
The bib damper preload variation system above the T-Tray provides controlled flexing with a lever acting on the damper preload ring, allowing calibration modification based on two positions, ‘soft’ and ‘hard’, seen in Austin according to RacingNews365. The ‘soft’ setting reduces floor ride height, while the ‘hard’ setting increases it, adapting to different requirements for qualifying and the race, where the car is heavier due to higher fuel load. The slight weight increase from the system’s design should not be overlooked in comparison to the standard solution used by other teams.
