🔧 F1 Tech Show: Red Bull's bib adjuster - what is it and why are rivals upset?
Added 2024-10-22 23:01:01 +0000 UTCThe main topic for this episode of The F1 Tech Show was an obvious choice, after Red Bull admitted in Austin that it has a device that can adjust the height of the ‘bib’ at the front of the floor but denying that it was ever – or could ever have been – used to make changes during parc ferme.
Edd Straw is joined by former F1 technical director Gary Anderson to explain why bib height is so important, how the adjuster tool works, and why Red Bull's rivals are annoyed.
Also on the show, Gary gives his opinion on Mercedes' US Grand Prix struggles, after its latest upgrade failed to deliver consistent results, plus he answers another handful of questions from listeners, including one sent in by a NASA systems engineer!

Isn’t the solution to this whole “ahead at the apex” rule, to just get rid of it. If you are the defending or attacking car on the inside of a corner, and you also don’t make the corner and leave a cars width to the outside, then the car on the outside can do whatever they want (in regards to overtaking off track) to defend/make the pass. Being able to push a car off track because you can’t make a corner, then complain you got overtaken off track, just seems ridiculously easy to game that system. As we see weekly.
