    McLaren: the "blind" to the rear suspension?
    In 2014 the car is not only the revolution dictated by the power-unit which requires the return of the turbo engine, this time equipped with hybrid systems useful to improve the performance and reduce the power consumption drastically. The new regulation also leads to a drastic loss of aerodynamic load: the teams are looking of imaginative solutions to compensate, at least in part, the lack of vertical thrust. With the limit of 100 kg / h of fuel makes no sense to try load only with the ailerons because the increase in the incidence of profiles you pay a high price in increased resistance.

    REAR SUSPENSION INNOVATIVE In this regard, McLaren is working on a solution that might be interesting in the rear: the FIA, in fact, has banned the use of the lower back which acted as a support to the bulkheads, but acquitted an important aerodynamic function. Matt Morris, project leader of the MP4/29, it would be seen by proposing a technical Woking found it interesting that the technical director Tim Goss has approved only if it is realized in parallel also a more traditional solution.

    CREATE A ROLLER WITH ARMS What would that be? To hear the rumors well informed, Woking WOULD developing a rear suspension in which the tie rod convergence would cascade from the upper arm, to create a sort of "shutter" (maybe even with the axle shaft fairing) to simulate at least in part the rear wing lower. In the design of Giorgio Piola you can clearly see that the McLaren MP4-28 had already started to careen the area of the arms close to the hub carrier. It is evident that the British engineers directed by Tim Goss are parties to this solution to develop an interesting concept that could be taken up by other teams

    MP4-29 AND THE 'VERY LATE bet McLaren could give advantages in terms of aerodynamics, but seems to have marked effects on the stiffness of the suspension. It is a bold move that will see the presentation of the car, but it may already be replaced by a more traditional solution in the first test in Jerez, where there will be an absolute requirement to travel for miles. The assembly of the first car seems to be in serious delay compared to the plans, so that even the date of the presentation of the car could undergo substantial changes, so that someone does not mean that you can see directly in Andalusia ...
