The design of the Red Bull kb7 is today the reference to continue in formula one. Some teams took borrowed certain ideas, as it is the case with the new exhaust of McLaren. It is what has to be the example to follow in a demanding competition, whilst Adrian Newey not you feel too well that rivals can copy their designs and then have the possibility to beat you with them.
Hegemony displayed by the Austrian team not only is rests in his single-seater and its cuidadisimo design, but also in the work of the mechanics on pit stops. The changes of Red Bull tires were the more quick in the Grand Prize of Turkey. It is this kind of small details that make the difference when everything is so close.
However, comparing the stops in boxes of different teams, and such and as they have said many readers in other entries, surely not all the advantage is attributable to the mechanics. Watching the video on these lines, gives the impression that Red Bull kb7 much better than the McLaren MP4-26 tracciona. From that withdrawing the cat and the single-seater plays the soil, is fired. Other cars on the other hand takes a little more.
Maybe it is not because traction, but a mechanism which allows them to accelerate as the single contact with the ground. Some have commented that they may have a special stops engine map, made that could confirm to see how Red Bull kb7 skating just to boot into boxes. It is another option. It seems that Red Bull have found something that allows them to boot more quickly.
All of the above obvious watching the table on these lines. Adding all the variables in play, the team of beverages energy is the fastest pit stops, but that more. Made eight stops, seven of them Red Bull took less than 21 seconds. Fernando Alonso on the other hand not even approached that record, passing through the fastest pitlane was 21,308 seconds, more than 1.2 seconds slower than the best of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel.
If we do not have the problematic third stop of Lewis Hamilton, McLaren edged almost 4 tenths to Ferrari in boxes. In Ferrari should try to reduce their time, because apparently seen are at a clear disadvantage with respect to their direct rivals. These seconds that lose to competitors then you have to get back them on track, no easy task given the existing formula equal.
If to this we add that they were made four stops in the Grand Prize of Turkey, the advantage is clear that successful. Alonso lost almost 4 seconds on Webber in boxes, 4.5 seconds for Vettel and slightly less than 1.5 seconds with Nico Rosberg. In so tight races, it is a very valuable time and that is worth its weight in gold.
Now Red Bull has a fearsome set. A single-seat very fast in career, aerodynamics unique allowing them to abuse the DRS in classification, a pilot who is showing intractable and a stops at feten boxes. What more can ask?
