Lol sounds more like a conspiracy theorist rather than an engineer.

The damper valve is designed not to open and bottom out in any corner otherwise you loose down force. It only opens on straights where the speed is high enough (these speeds don't occur in the corners and thus the down force required to open the valve isn't there) to generate the down force required to open the valve. This is why this "simple" design isn't as simple as it sounds.

Don't forget down force is proportional to speed.



My "engineer" friend told me the RB16B's flexi wing was also gps controlled, which is why it was banned.

Yeah ...Just like the Merc's DAS , Party-Mode , Warp-Speed , the sensors and the air-cooling system in the plenum , intercooler upgrade , and the rear squat suspension .

Wait ...I forgot the Merc's 'fexible front wing !

Nope, I just love the engineering. But we can see your love for max is blinding your judgement.


All legal, you keep bringing it up but it is all legal - and created by engineers that are extremely clever.

That's really funny !
There are also high speed turns , where they reach 300 + km/h !
And your valve will not be activated ..
If your valve would be activated in a 300 km/h turn . Your Merc would meet a wall in no time !

The rear squat suspension is programmed in the track configuration and controlled via GPS .
The system is accurate at +/- 1 meter .

It's impossible to make it work in the Red Bull by the RB16's high-rake .
The Wolf won't tell you that !

By gum Max goes into the 32's to seal pole, guess Ham's shocker valve wasn't all it was cracked up to be and Checo just couldn't make it a 1-2 but I'm happy with that.
