Scarborough: teams use the same technical solution
In an interview with CNN British technical expert Craig Scarborough said that this year none of the teams, demonstrating the new machine, did not spend resources on finding innovative solutions, limiting evolutionary measures.
"Next year, the technical regulations will change significantly, so balanced teams are trying to allocate our resources," said Scarborough. Now they don't need to completely redo the chassis, it is sufficient to implement only some minor innovations. Nobody has created a truly new and truly unique cars.
Such impression, that all use the same solution. In fact, it resembles a kind of sketch: you can take pictures of fragments of the fore part, front suspension, side pontoons and rear suspension, different chassis, stir, and from them you can make any car 2013th year."
Perhaps the only exception can be considered Sauber: side pontoons on C32 clearly decreased in size.
"The air flow does not pass through the radiator and goes directly to the exhaust pipe - this reduces drag," the expert explained. - New machine Sauber, however, as last year's - it's quite an ingenious design which embodies a lot of interesting ideas, so it's no surprise that Red Bull have copied two or three of them to use in their RB9.
However, despite the fact that Sauber ahead of all on the technical part, not the fact that the team will achieve the results in the races, which she deserves. I think the pace will be set Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren. But it is possible that, like last year, in the first half of the season we will see the variation in results is due to the fact that the team will learn new tires. Then again, the situation is similar to the one that we saw in Barcelona, where he won Pastor Maldonado at Williams, because this team was able to achieve efficient operation of rubber.
