🚨 Shocking, McLaren has 2 DRS gadgets. New: an extra mini DRS that opens automatically After the flexi front wing, now they've a flexi rear wing. Even my dog can see that this isn’t right. Seeing this, you might be wondering how McLaren has made such a significant jump...

Every team have flexy wings.... More or less...

McLaren's innovations are certainly raising eyebrows. From their extra mini DRS to the flexible rear wing, it’s clear they’ve pushed the boundaries of engineering. This leap since Miami is impressive, but raises questions about their equipment’s legality and fairness.

Saw this nice animated visual of the mini DRS.

It’s innovative and within the rules, what F1 is all about. Just one of those things where if your team had done it you’d be fine with it but they didn’t so it’s “illegal”

I love innovation in F1. That's one of the reasons I've been following the sport since the 90s. However, the regulations and tests must be the same for everyone. Last year the FIA banned Aston Martin's flexi front wing after 8 races. In 2021 after repeated complaints from Mercedes, the FIA banned Red Bull's flexi wings in Baku, even though the same wings had been approved by the FIA previously.

Your dawg here. Yes, I see that this isn't right.

If it passes the tests then it's within the regulations.

Great simulation of the Ferrari Döner wing posted on LinkedIn by Dominik Bolasko. There are still some irregularities in this simulation, like the wing profiles being different than the actual Döner wing, but it looks to be one of the more accurate sims I have seen so far. One very interesting aspect of this simulation is the magnitude of the flow field disruption from the intermediate sail position. All DRS flaps naturally have a hysteresis with respect to flow recovery and attachment on flap closure. Hysteresis, in the simplest terms, is the difference in the value you get from the same device in one setting compared to another. In this case what we are looking at is the downforce the wing give you before opening, and after opening. So why would you have hysteresis? Well the flow will take some time to recover snd reattach after a big geometry change bringing back the full load (downforce) to the rear of the car for the braking zone. This exists for all cars that have a flap geometry change like this. However, the magnitude of the flow disruption can further delay this recovery causing the car to not re-establish the full load potential in the first phase of braking. So, I could certainly believe that the hysteresis for this type of wing would be greater than that of a conventional flap because of how much flow disturbance you have from that intermediate sail position. Meaning the rear of the Ferrari on initial braking could have some nervousness as the flow takes more time to re-attach and recover the load on the rear wing. In fact, this is exactly what Dominik found in his simulations (image 2). I did speak with someone with a team, and this was one aspect they indeed had considered as a negative to this design when they first saw it. It’s possible that’s part of what was being tested when they ran it during testing in Bahrain. Do you think we will see this wing again during the season?

🏎️ | 260624 | Since yesterday, a mysterious figure has been spotted at Zhuhai. My initial assumption was that he had been behind the wheel, as he was wearing racing boots in the photos shared by YIBO OFFICIAL. However, no videos or photos showed him getting in or out of the car just yet; all footage just showed him interacting with Yibo, Rio, and the rest of the UNO Racing team. Now, after research, I can confirm that the Mercedes-AMG factory driver accompanying UNO Racing during these private test sessions is Ralf Aron. He is also using his 2023 helmet for the practice sessions. Ralf Aron is an Estonian professional racing driver and Mercedes-AMG Performance Driver with experience across single-seater, endurance, and GT3 competition. After beginning his career in karting at the age of six, he rose through the junior formula ranks, winning the 2015 Italian Formula 4 Championship before competing in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship. Following his single-seater career, Aron expanded his expertise by taking on management and technical roles with Prema Racing and Sauber Motorsport, contributing to championship-winning campaigns in Formula Regional and the European Le Mans Series. In 2023, he returned to full-time competition as a Mercedes-AMG Junior Driver, finishing runner-up in the ADAC GT Masters and competing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. Promoted to Mercedes-AMG Performance Driver in 2024, Aron has since competed in major international endurance events, including the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the 24 Hours of Spa, the Macau GT World Cup, and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. His current racing program includes GT World Challenge Asia, the Nürburgring 24 Hours, GT Open, and the Asian Le Mans Series, representing teams such as GetSpeed, Climax Racing, and Lone Star Racing. #WangYibo #WangYibo王一博 #王一博 #หวังอี้ป๋อ #ワンイーボー #왕이보 #85RACING #YIBO85

🇮🇹 1981 Italian Grand Prix Lap 20 Car 7 🇬🇧 John Watson - McLaren MP4/1 Car 4 🇮🇹 Michele Alboreto - Tyrrell 010 John Watson’s accident at the 1981 Italian Grand Prix at Monza is widely remembered as one of the most significant turning points in Formula 1 history. It wasn't just a terrifying crash; it was the ultimate, real-world test that permanently changed how racing cars were built. On Lap 20 of the race, Watson lost control of his McLaren exiting the high-speed Second Lesmo bend. The car spun and struck the trackside barriers at roughly 140 mph (225 km/h). The violence of the impact was immense and it tore the engine and gearbox completely off the back of the car. The breakaway rear assembly bounced across the track and clipped Michele Alboreto’s Tyrrell, forcing him out of the race as well. To the absolute shock of the crowd and commentators, Watson opened his visor, unbuckled his harness, and walked away from the smoking, shattered wreckage entirely uninjured. Before the 1981 season, Formula 1 chassis were traditionally constructed from sheets of riveted or welded aluminum. However, for 1981, McLaren designer John Barnard introduced the McLaren MP4/1—the very first F1 car to feature a monocoque made entirely from carbon fiber composite material. The F1 paddock was deeply skeptical of this "mysterious black plastic." Many rival designers and team bosses openly criticized the move, confidently predicting that if a carbon fiber car suffered a major accident, the chassis would "crack like an egg" or disintegrate into a lethal cloud of sharp, black dust. Watson's crash proved the exact opposite. While the aluminum parts and engine mounts sheared off as intended to dissipate energy, the central carbon fiber tub enclosing Watson remained completely intact. It didn't shatter; it absorbed and deflected the massive load, acting as an impenetrable safety cell. Watson's survival at Monza effectively validated carbon fiber technology, establishing the blueprint for the modern carbon composite survival cells that continue to save drivers' lives in motorsport today. 🎥 Formula 1 John Watson McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team Autodromo Nazionale Monza #f1 #cars #accident #italy
