![]() The body cover wraps so tightly around the internal mechanical parts, just like skin, making the team to open gills at the back to prevent overheating, as the single oval hot air outlet above the rear light was found insufficient to meet the cooling needs. Sauber instead exploits the engine starter hole to blow through the emissions to energize diffuser. The exhausts are placed close to the floor and pointing outwards to blow the hot emissions towards the outer diffuser section, a solution might help also to heat the rear tyres. ![]() Mercedes even had to revert from push rod to pull rod rear suspension. All teams including Mercedes to decrease the downforce loss caused by the previous mentioned changes put all their efforts on slimming significantly the car end to offer a cleaner airflow towards the rear. ![]() The new regulations forced teams to ban multiple deck diffuser and put under rethink any diffuser exhaust blown configuration. “The weather is forecast to deteriorate a bit overnight, which may make it difficult to run the simulations, but hopefully we can do the same simulations with Mark that we did with Seb today.” But that’s why we do these tests, to iron out any little problems, and generally the simulations went well.” Mark Webber will take over driving duties tomorrow, when the team will run a similar programme to today. We had a few small problems, such as an issue with a heat shield. The work largely went according to plan as Head of Race Engineering, Ian Morgan, explains: “Generally it was good today and we got through almost everything we wanted to. Today, with race team personnel present, the team aimed to get through simulations of a race weekend P3, qualifying session and a race simulation. Red Bull Racing’s Sebastian Vettel went quickest again today day as the team continued work on the second day of its test weekend in Barcelona.
