From The F1 Times point to a reason which could enable this overwhelming domain. The secret of their success would be to maximize the benefits of the blown diffuser. Already last year there were indications that pointed in that direction, although some have been tying cabos to try to reach a conclusion on the matter. Continues to be a conjecture, although quite well argued the truth.
Abiding by that comment on the previous page, the delayed ignition is to blame for this advantage in classification. This refers to the control of the gases that expels the engine when the driver is not making use of the accelerator pedal. This detail is in which is based the blown diffuser, which thus is maximize the aerodynamic grip of the single-seater.
The FIA has such a system in its sights, and even forbade to the Grand Prize of Spain, although it was forced to correct a few hours later because of the uproar that was formed. Anyway has become very clear that the governing body of formula one has to the diffuser blowing between eyebrow and eyebrow, and since the may he prohibit its use. When? It remains to be seen, but they have already been dropped that they want to make it soon.
The problem encountered when using this system is that gasoline consumption increases. To this end the Red Bull must carry a slightly higher during the classification. The issue is that they offset the extra weight more than in the light of the results. Is this one of the reasons why Red Bull only recently made an attempt in the Q3? Something above coming them from Pearl to save a set of tyres.
Not all are advantages. Due to the use of this system cars of the Austrian drink are more tragones. A small setback which means not too many headaches. If in normal conditions the consumption estimated by back is 4-5 kg, the Red Bull need 5 or 6 kg, i.e. about 20% more. When 1 kg additional gasoline represents, on average, a loss of about a tenth or tenth and a half lap, this penalty are still coming to story. Her they outweigh.
If we also pay attention to the progression of time in the classification from the Q1 to the Q2 and the Q3, it is obvious that in this last is where the maximum gap on their rivals. As for standard cars usually have fuel for all the qualifying session, at the beginning the Red Bull extra load camouflaged that extra advantage enjoyed. As the tank is emptying, the difference is becoming palpable.
The handicap with which are Sundays is that this extra weight to use ignition delayed during the entire race is impractical. This difference per lap kilogram would imply a completely unworkable burden for all the test. In 1 kg more per turn would be minimum 50 kg extra which would be required. Impossible. To fix this little mess, what they do is electronically to reduce the level of delayed ignition. This is why last so McLaren and Ferrari are virtually on par with Red Bull race.
If this guess is correct or we will not know if the FIA dares to prohibit the blown diffuser. Then you can confirm that the secret of the Red Bull clasifcaciones lies in the use of this system, or on the contrary, the genius of Adrian Newey has reached any other even more ingenious solution. Bets are accepted. It seems an idea quite more reasonable than the misteriores cables that we saw in Turkey to a server. You you you think?
