The main topics before the race are likely speed of Red Bull (1) replacement of the forewings with his riders (2) and moving exhausts to the floor (3), so at first gradually to them, this time in the form of more comments:
1st Silverstone is like the Barcelona circuit, where he clearly apparent shortcomings aerodynamic cars. Especially the bigger teams from Barcelona but he managed to take over "the exhaust philosophy of" Red Bull and so expected, which will force distribution. At first glance during exhaust filter the past two months, not much has changed - the closest rivals lost from 8/10 for a second, then the others around a second and a half, and so on.
Verdict that the secret exhaust filter of Red Bull has not yet been revealed surely offers, but I disagree with him, at least not entirely. Just look at the times of the individual sectors. It's the first one consisting solely of fast corners with a smooth surface, where it would be most apparent lack of downforce and here rivals lose power. It is true that Red Bull is the only passes through Copse (first turn) to seventh gear, but at times it almost does not occur. Ferrari and McLaren, there are only about a tenth slower. Only in the others begin to fall - Alonso in the second sector still retained in sight, but Hamilton lost in it half a second. Aside from the relatively fast corners Stowe is in him and slow Vale with an uneven surface. Followed by a new third sector with the now very demanding Abbey, which passes almost full and has a great inequality. Red Bull is here about 15 km / h faster than everyone else, which would correspond to approximately two-tenths of a profit only in this one corner. I look at this is in seeing that it is not thrust, but the fact that Red Bull inequality moves and everyone else (especially McLaren) is more Přeskače. Overall in the last sector all lost at least three tenths. Alonso he was the fastest lap Schumacher exhaust filter slowed down a bit, but he estimated that only some 5 hundredths.
It seems that in terms of aerodynamics, the other Red Bull a little catch up, but soon found that by far not so perfect car mechanical condition. But it is necessary to add that Silverstone this year, all prepared in extreme conditions - predominance of fast corners in combination with complicated surface and strong winds this year about anywhere else meet. On the other hand, these conditions seem to show who built this year in all (with the possible exception of reliability) the best car.
2. To clear what's going on: Red Bull brought two pieces of the new front wings, one of which failed to Vettelově car (probably without his guilt) in the third practice session. Before qualifications but removed the remaining piece of Webber's car and assigned him Vettel. Media because team boss Horner solid and straight on several podusila. His explanation was as follows anyway - Vettel got the wing because he has more points, was faster in the third practice session on Friday and it had a better feeling than Webber. Just say it is not a big change, and this is no time advantage, only to feel and use it just because it wanted Newey. Incidentally, in this interview Horner just 9x (no exaggeration) mentions that sometimes you need to make a difficult exhaust filter decision - it must be some kind of record.
Webber (you could maybe say traditionally) to deny any problems did not contribute much and probably does not share the view Horner. At a press conference strongly contrasted with vysmátým Vettel, said that second place on the grid on most lines sucks and easily replace it with Alonso for the third (although it can soon changed his mind), and the question of what to say to that Sebastian exhaust filter has a new wing said that "the team is happy about today's result." Later, he had to admit that it is a team to the other.
Exhausts for third floor (the EDD - Exhaust Driven exhaust filter Diffuser) recently rapidly replacing F-duct to position things that everyone must have. With more or less success it currently deployed teams Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes, Williams and McLaren, but especially the latter with him so far failed. It's a simple idea, but worse that brings to life, especially in the car that it was originally built. It's not just about rebuilding the body and diffuser, but it is necessary to adapt the engine settings and especially to ensure that no part of overheating. exhaust filter Something like that without tests done badly enough, although exhaust filter at Ferrari (no offense) to mature. exhaust filter In addition, the riders exhaust filter must learn to enjoy the benefits exhaust filter that the system exhaust filter offers, and accordingly the need to set auto.
Teams generally agree that it is a challenging task, but offers a gain of approximately half a second and more. For Ferrari and Renault so far no problems emerged, exhaust filter only Kubica added that it was difficult to find the right setting - when the tunes for the slow corners, the car is unstable in the fast and vice versa. Sam Michael says that their version of EDD is similar to Red Bull and different from others. exhaust filter With temperatures apparently have no problems and have higher pressure from the first moment the news deployed. He also indicated that it is necessary to use exhaust gases to the right place, because of the limited amount of energi
