View from another angle at the Silverstone Copse Turn ..

HAM was running so wide (on purpose ) in the Copse Turn that he ended up off track coming out of the Copse turn !
Left red circle = MAX / Right red circle = HAM

#NeverForget !

That's a new angle of it I haven't seen before and something that Mikey closes his eyes to. What do all the other F IA board do, close their eyes also or they will be asked to leave, all said in private out of the public eye.

No wonder it's got a phenomenal top speed with the less drag, all fitting in nicely with the FIA giving a clean bill of health to it of course, thank goodness Newey came back and applied the ''antidote'' to the 16B.

Yeah. While it was banned by the FIA ,the 2021 Mercedes is using it anyway => https://www.racefans.net/2019/07/19/...nsion-in-2021/

Mercedes is saying that their rear squat suspension isn't active ..

So why it drops 'Automatically 5 centimeters (1.9685 Inches) in the high speed straights ?

This gives a good explanation as to what mercedes are doing

Apparently it's not active because theres no electronics controlling the system, very clever how they achieved it.

''So we felt that having the front car optimised in a very clean and clinical condition would mean that the result would be more sensitive and hence worse for the following car.'' FIA.
This should be applicable to all systems not just active,Mercs rear configuration, hidden active or not is illegal and passed by Mercafia.
