Spanish Grand Prix 2010, Circuit de Catalunya - Race 5/19

The current weather reports are that its going to rain from about 12 until 6. Will certainly spice things up. Hopefully its not torrential though.
 
Could try iplayer through some proxy sites.

Not sure that we're allowed to link to streaming sites, but google for myp2p and you'll find a site with a lot of links.

A few weeks ago their was a suggestion that Red Bull were running some for of active ride height control, not active suspension, but the ability to compensate for fuel load ride height changes. Now everyone seems to have gone very quiet on this issue. Is this a case of all the teams working on their own versions or do people think the concept was wrong.

There was a suggestion. But since then the FIA clarified the situation that such a device was against the rules. Since that point other teams, who began working on a similar device abandoned the development of the device. RedBull however, have proved that they are not running such a device, as since then, their cars have passed scrutineering. As faras the the FIA are concerned, RedBull donot have any such system on their car.

If true it must have a large impact on aero upgrqades because with ride height control you can optimise the aero for one configuration but without you must optimise aero across the range of ride hieghts from start to finish.

This is exactly why the auto ride height adjustment system (which the RedBull cars were allegedly using) would've been so important when it came to putting in fast lap times, especially during qualifying.

Is RBR's increasing qualifying pace a consequence of one technical innovation allowing them to better hone others?

Only RBR know the answer to this and they won't tell anyone.
 
Cheers guys. I can listen to 5Live through iPlayer so i'll use that at least. Would be nice to watch it so i'll do some digging through your suggestions :) Otherwise i'll head down to that bar and hope its on! (and spend a small fortune on beer in 3 hours ;))
 
I suspect the Red Bull is using an advanced suspension system that allows them to better optimise their ride height, not an active one, but a better self adjusting one - which tied in to lots of small aero advantages adds up to an extremely efficient car.

With the shock most of the teams showed at the gap in quali this week I don't think any of them quite grasp what is going on.
