We wrote that the Mercedes team will bring many new products to Austin to evaluate their effectiveness and the correctness of the chosen path in preparation for the next season, when the cars will hardly change. Mercedes technical director Mike Elliott told more…
Mike Elliott: “We will bring a lot of new parts. On the one hand, this will improve the performance of this year’s car, on the other hand, it will ensure that we do everything right when working with the 2023 car.
The conventional wisdom is that if you take something out of the wind tunnel and test it on the track, that is, if it works, you have good data correlation, and if it doesn’t work, then there is no correlation.
Everything is much more complicated. Calculations in the CFD program and in the wind tunnel never match the data on the real track. An engineer’s art is to find the right solution based on CFD data, in the wind tunnel and on the rail.
The last few updates have been about improving the efficiency of the car as well as changing the aerodynamic concept – from there we started developing the car for next year. If you seriously change the philosophy of a car, you can’t do it in one step, you have to go gradually, and that’s what we’re doing now.”
