I&#...You knowledge of the past is very impressive. I'm just curious as to whether or not you know what the problems with the 1994 Williams Adrian Newey designed were ?<br />I've read the sidepods were too long and the leading edge came too close to the ground stalling the underside (and obviously rear diffuser downforce would disappear). I've also heard the Renault V10 dimensions compromised the rear suspension geometry and this possibly contributed to a slight instability under braking due to weight transfer effects. Patrick Head also remarked that the front wing was initially too sensitive and picked up too much downforce ruining the car's balance. So they moved it back and raised it. Also they moved the front wheels back but one would<br />think the would make the car's pitch sensitivity even worse.<br /><br />I'm guessing you have accumulated lots of historical data from Formula 1. Is there any chance you might know something about the 1994 Williams car that I have not mentioned. I'm just curious<br />because you have posted stuff<br />about the Ferrari brake ducts from the 70's so I just assumed<br />you must have an extensive personal<br />library on F1 technology.<br /><br />Sorry for long comment, it is just<br />that you peaked by curiosity.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Peter<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04447248287886846510noreply@blogger.com
