For some reason my iPhone won’t open that file - just get this:



But I do agree…

Anyone watching FP sessions on Friday & Saturday were treated to a very “flexible” rear-end on HAM’s chassis. While the reg.’s outlaw moveable aero (except, of course, DRS), the ability to allow a rear-end to “squat” under a given amount of downforce changes rake dynamically. That changes aero without being non-compliant.

BOT engine swaps may well be R&D in real-time - but may also be necessary. When you fiddle with one ICE component in a stressed element, it can cause harm elsewhere that reduces power. BTW, the under-driver is always the stalking horse on a team so that’s not new.
