Thought there'd be more activity here, given we now appear to have a green RB on the grid.

What evidence in the form of pictures is there for the new car?

So, a totally different concept from before. Wonder how long it's going to take them to get on top of the set-up?

Copying a whole car worked decently well, but I have some doubts that copying singular features will be as effective.

Everyone eventually copied Red Bull's exhaust-blown diffuser. This team obviously has form but what they're doing isn't unusual. Haven't other teams already taken inspiration from their tea tray this year?

any idea if they have two of them already? Earlier reports said it's only gonna be one for Stroll, but the AMuS updated from today sounded more like both will get the new parts.

Wasn't there a rule introduced where all the teams had to submit CAD and technical details to the FIA for them to look where other teams themselves are allowed to look at those documents? Pretty much allows direct copying.

This is entierely different from the pink Mercedes story.
The problem at the time was that it was clear Racing Point bought blueprint from Mercedes, wich was illegal for some parts, and then said "We didn't bought ****, we made a copy based on our observations".
Renault & Ferrari were pressing the matters and as it was difficult to defend for both Racing Point and Mercedes, they let it run a season and then made the floor rules change for 2021 wich was kind of a FIA agreement in order to make everybody happy and to not go in court.

Today, we got a team trying to copy the best car of the field.
What will interest people is how well it will run with another engine/rear suspension, and if the new head of aero at Aston Martin, wich was the head of aero at Red Bull Racing have made anything illegal.
If not, and if AMF1 comply will all the rules, there is no problem here.

Aston Martin F1 and RBR aren't related in any ways, they aren't close like A team / B team, Aston Martin was a bit of a Mercedes B team but now try to not be that anymore.
Can't wait to see if it works, and if it does, how long it would take Mercedes to make something similar.

Well, that's what Racing Point said.
And then, Renault pinned them against the wall with the brake duct stuff.
That was blueprint.

Wouldn't surprise me if they get knocked out in Q1. Thankfully F1 is not that simple that a copy works as good as the original.

Did you miss 2019? They scared everyone in pre-season testing with their long run pace and were bang on it from the word go. Drivers couldn't hide their smiles.

But still there are 50-50 chances to fight for pole or to fight for Q2

The fundamental issue with the team remains though. If they're having to copy other ideas it means they don't understand on their own which direction to go and why. For that reason they'll always be playing catch-up.

I do some CAD work. Show me some pictures of a brake duct and I can whip one up that will be very very close. Just need a known dimension of something in the pic. Doesn't have to be off the duct.

 

Copying has always gone on, however I do find the brazenness of RP/AM to be hilarious.

You should have a look a what happened in 2020 and how Renault/Ferrari proved to the FIA that some parts were never shown, so it was impossible to get the same exact design by guess.

As said previously, it's a different matter this time.

The team were fined and deducted points for this, however. They were found guilty.

They had all the CAD files and info directly from Mercedes. I doubt that's the case now, unless Fallows has taken them with him...

They scared people with pace, not with a picture.
Here this car hasn't turned a wheel yet on track.

I don't think copying is that easy, it's the whole concept of the car to get a whole system to work together.
Some stuff might work easier, other stuff you might never understand why it is the way it is and what interactions are there

I would love that to be honest. Just for the shock value and paddock consternation  :rotfl: . This copy car drama is part of  F1's character. I love it. 

 

 

And besides, I've been saying for too long, this car is too pretty to be slow.

If I remember correctly, AM is rated among one of the heaviest on the grid. Who knoww if it is improved with this upgrade or even got worse.

Even if the outside copy is 100% perfect (which it is not), probably they could not copy the internal aero, plus the mechanical things, engine, cooling etc and little touches here and there are all missing. Not to mention they'll have no idea how to properly set up the car. +weaker driving pair.

 

With all these, they could be easily 1-1.5s off of RB'S pace.

Depends, if they have given themselves more tolerances elsewhere, they may be able to push in ways that Red Bull can't. Same rollerskate, different shoes. 

 

I can't tell you how funny this is, there's a chance I will watch the whole weekend now instead of writing it off as a tedious bore.

The old car looked so beautiful...now it looks strange. If they dont gain anything from this, they should go back
