  • Let's take a closer look at F1 floor suspension design!
    Why does the floor or parts of ot have its own suspension?
    How far did F1 teams develop this area so far?
    Which different designs can we find?

    Doesn't that makes the floor spring and dampers movable aerodynamic device like the banned tuned mass damper ? Even if it's attached to the sprung part of the car, it still moves.

    • @aussieseanc
      @aussieseanc หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      This is my thought exactly
      The Lotus 88 was not raced because it had an aerodynamic "floor" that moved independently of the rest of the chassis and other teams threatened to protest it
      Again we have a floor that moves independently of the rest of the car
      How is this different ?
      How is it legal ?

    • @miamiata7716
      @miamiata7716 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Yes and no. Every material bends and flexes. They give the teams dimensions/wearlimits etc. and can check it before and after sessions. Like flexing front wings, tilting rearwings when within limits and ok during described checks it’s ok. But yes, this is sort of movable aero

    • @procatprocat9647
      @procatprocat9647 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      No. It behaves in the same way as every material on the planet - when a force is applied it deflects, and returns to its original position when the force is removed.
      That's elastic deformation and it applies to everything up to a certain point.
      It is legal because it would be impossible to make a car that doesn't deform. The car would have to defy physics.
      Deformation limit tests are often used in F1 to attempt to keep the deformation sensible.
      Edit - the movement is also passive, rather than active.

    After watching the video, I wonder if these workarounds to minimize plank wear defeats the purpose of them introducing the plank wear rule, because teams can run the car on higher downforce without heavily affecting the plank.
    Fantastic video, by the way

    Its strange the rules allow this. Isnt this considered movable aero parts?

    • @procatprocat9647
      @procatprocat9647 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nope, it just deflects passively when force is applied, then returns afterwards, just like every object on the planet.

  • @paarker
    @paarker หลายเดือนก่อน

    I wonder if that damper isn’t a damper but a device that pushes down that is linked to a bar that causes the floor to be come concave. The floor secretly flexes to create more downforce.
    Suspension could be the disguise.

    Finally someone who pays attention to one of the most important areas of developement in recent years! But there is one thing wrong here - the plank is made of a composite material, it is no longer really wood. It would have been worth mentioning that the "suspended" floor, t-tray etc. was invented by Rory Byrne in 2003 on the Ferrari F2003.
