Why Williams Have a HOLE in Their Sidepod

Рет қаралды 670,931

Күн бұрын

Skinny ones, wide ones, ones you could take a bath in - sidepods have been changed dramatically this year - and a great sidepod design could be key for this year.
But, pretty much all of the teams have adopted completely different solutions - all focusing on optimising aerodynamics, cooling and packaging.
So we’ve got Scarbs in to explain each one - as well as the one that has got us all a bit confused.
Let’s go.

I don't think this is something to worry about. If for example (and honestly I hope this is reality), Williams design is genius and results in them being on the podium in the first couple of races. The other teams will quickly figure out what Williams did right and copy it for themselves.

Even if this car will be not an F2004 will be far from being a SF1000 . The 2020 had some serious other problems apart from aerodynamics starting with engine , and the gearbox , the suspensions . The F1 75 has a very powerful engine, so could be easily onother SF90 if it fails. If it succeeds will be a serious title contender .

I almost wonder if the slight out-washing shape to the thru duct on the Williams may specifically be to direct air around the rear tires. The duct is possibly being used to differentiate the out-wash airflow from the air flow feeding the rear of the floor and the diffuser. I am also curious to hear what Scarbs has to say about how he thinks McLaren are trying to work the floor edge with the bulky sidepods.

Would the hole in the top of the Williams side-pod not encourage a lot faster air to travel over the top-back-mid section of the car which, in turn may well be attenuating or, at least, smoothing out the airspeed at the rear half of the underside's Venturi system? If that is the case, would that indicate that they've found a way of going less agressive using the Venturi system such that they avoid the whole porpoising situation?
