Driver 61 released this video on why Mercedes had trouble with their car with the new regulations in 22. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4woJDRV-kZA&pp=ygUJRHJpdmVyIDYx

Tl;dw, it was on how an oversight by Mercs and the wind tunnel led to a big issue with correlation between the tunnel and track, the issue being they used a SMOOTH belt to run the car on. Obviously, a f1 circuit is rough, which is why they couldn’t understand their porpoising. The reason they didn’t use a rougher belt was because it meant more tire wear for the model, which they are limited with, and that belts wear smooth, which means they have to be changed and recalibrated more often and hence uses valuable wind tunnel time. They continue to use a smooth belt but have learnt how to compensate for the smooth belt vs rough track more.

If you have followed Aston upgrades over the last few years, you’d know they have often had parts that don’t work as intended, and they use the same wind tunnel as Mercedes. My question is do Aston also have to use a smooth belt? If so, Have they had the opportunity to compensate? Is there information mercs is hiding from Aston about the wind tunnel to gain an advantage? Does this mean the Aston engineers could be doing much better work, but the wind tunnel is the limiting factor? If I am right, imagine when newey and the wind tunnel comes along!!!

Just recently found out people can get autographed driver cards directly from the teams. Since I want to get a Fernando Alonso driver card, I joined the I/AM membership since it is the only way to get one, according to the Aston Martin website.

There's something I'm a bit confused about, so feel free to tell me where I'm wrong if I don't understand it correctly. The website says that the card drops are random. Does this mean that the card drops are for randomly chosen members. Or does this mean that most (if not all) members get these cards but at random times throughout the year?

Also, to be viable for this, do I already have to input my address in my profile?

I can't help but feel like Aston Martin and Lawrence Stroll are really going to go all out to win the Championship in the upcoming years, especially after signing Adrian Newey.... seems like money TRULY isn't a problem 😂

I just posted a video on my Youtube channel about this topic. Check it out and let me know what you think 😊 Also would appreciate if you subscribe while you are there, thanks!
