@1barnet1 5 жыл бұрын
Only scratches the surface. To keep it understandable for the majority of viewers and Williams engineers. They didn't go into camber toe in toe out and how the suspension changes those values depending on the centrifugal forces. Example. Camber is how much the tyres are tilted. Want them flat when braking and accelerating in a straight line. But when the car tilts in a corner you lose surface area. So for high corner speeds you'd want the outer tyre flat on the tarmac despite the roll and remain full contact with a potentially bumpy track. You see this can't all be achieved without active suspension which is banned by the rules. So they have to be (and are) very clever in making a mechanical suspension which adepts depending on load. And fine tune it for every specific track. Now how they do it? That goes way over my head as well.

Pure dedication and commitment to achieving one goal, an elite rancing car which is faster than the competition. It's outstanding when you consider that they have only just returned to F1 after decades of non participation. Domination is not good for any sport, but sometimes you just have to accept that they are worthy champions and as fans not demand another team has to be champion just for the sake of it. This attitude is more unhealthy for any sport
