The details in F1 they make a difference. Seven words that Ferrari currently has in mind. The Italian team is trying to raise the overall value of the car. The first step was taken with the introduction of the package EVO. Upturned bellies in style Red Bull and a new version of the bottom revised mainly in the keel part. Changes that have brought the desired benefits, although the validation has yet to be completed. The Grand Prix Of Spain will provide the latest feedback and then evaluate the next upgrade planned for England. In the meantime here’s the Canada.
The prancing Horse shows a lot of confidence in his abilities. He does it with Vasseur who has very good feelings about it. This despite the rain will completely disrupt the weekend Quebec. When the asphalt is wet the F1 they spend approximately the same time on tuition. In contrast, the percentage of lap time in corners increases dramatically. This means that the relevance of performance in the slower areas takes on a much more important aspect. Because of this T1 And T2 they will have a significant impact on the chronometric results, more than on the dry conditions.
Another fundamental point will be the hairpin in the third sector, where the acceleration phase will play a crucial role. Turn 10 leads into the long, high-speed section which will undoubtedly have a considerable specific weight at a chronometric level. That’s why the traction coming out of the first corner of the T3 must be optimized. Ferrari in this fundamental it is no longer al top. Last year it was, while in the current world championship Red Bull enjoys a clear advantage in this distinctive trait. TO Montecarlo the red was able to maximize this factor, as the straights are very short.
F1, Ferrari manages hybrid power to close the gap on Red Bull in traction
Before continuing the discussion, let’s introduce some data on a propulsive level that will help us in our reasoning. The use of power unit as far as endothermic is concerned it will be important. The percentage of use of the F1 internal combustion engine exceeds 70% over the course of a session. In short, medium-high stresses. THEThe trace is quite sensitive to power 0.19s every 10hp of power. As mentioned, the acceleration phases matter a lot Montreal, necessarily having to have a progressive and seamless power delivery. All supported best by the electrical part of the power unit.
Motorcycle generators that offer a plus of performance good in Canada: 1.7s on time for each round, raising the maximum speed by approximately 20 seconds. L’MGU-Hvia the enthalpy of gas of exhaust recovers approximately 2714 Kjwhile theMGU-K which uses kinetic energy produces roughly 661 Kj. The total sum is equal to 3375 Kj for each step. TO Monk there Ferrari they used an inherent strategy to energy recovery factual, as the PU 066/12 it moved a large portion of the energy produced by the motor generators when exiting corners, thus guaranteeing excellent performance.
He was able to do this because the straight stretches between the streets of the Principality they are in short supply. For the ninth stage of F1 the situation would be different when considering the aforementioned very long high-speed stretch in the third sector. However, adverse weather conditions should go against the needs of the red, as the rain makes the compromise relating to the use of the hybrid system less difficult. The percentage of use of the energy recovered on the lines will be lower and, therefore, the power peaks can be exploited more when exiting the curves.
As a result, an increase in horsepower output is obtained to be discharged to the ground, thus providing more consistency to the traction phases. Thanks to this scenario, the gap from the Ferrari on the Red Bull in this fundamental it should be minimized. Context to which the F1 driver’s sensitivity must be added when he presses the pedal gas. As we can easily imagine, in fact, the ability of those who hold the steering wheel in their hands will be decisive, in order not to skate with the rear axle and lose precious laptime. This is the theory, it remains to be seen whether it will be followed by practice.
