Kusukela u-Karl Wendlinger no-JJ Lehto baqala ukugijima eqenjini lika-Peter Sauber ngo-1993 ngezinjini ze-BMW, baya eqenjini elithobekile lamanje elilawulwa ngu-Monisha Kaltenborn elixhaswe yi-Ferrari futhi lishayelwa yintsha u-Marcus Ericsson no-Pascal Wehrlein, kuningi okushintshile. Kodwa-ke, kunokuthile okuhlala kungashintshile, futhi lokho uhlobo lweSauber, olugubha iminyaka engama-25 kulo nyaka futhi lugubha ngoshintsho ekuhlobiseni okusha. Hlanza C36 ngamathoni egolide futhi akhangayo kakhulu kunaseminyakeni yamuva. Lawo mathoni ampunga abengakhangi kakhulu, futhi okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokuphuzi kwabekwa umxhasi u-Banco do Brasil, ongasekho ngemuva kokuthi uFelipe Nasr ehambile…
Ngomhla zingama-22 kule nyanga bahlele usuku lokuqopha kwisekethe ye-Barcelona, futhi yize amathayi, isivinini, ibanga kanye nokuhlolwa okufanele kwenziwe kulawulwa yi-FIA njengoba kuyinto yokuphromotha futhi ngenxa yemikhawulo engenangqondo yokuqoshwa kwamaqembu e-F1, ngokungangabazeki onjiniyela bazoyithatha. bazuze abangakwazi ukubona ukuthi imoto isebenza kanjani ngaphambi kokuqala ngokuhlolwa kwangaphambi kwesizini okuzokwenzeka ezinsukwini ezimbalwa. Ngokubukeka nje, le moto yinhle kakhulu kuneyanyakenye, futhi ibukeka inemininingwane ukwedlula umklamo abasenze sawubona kuGrove weWilliams FW40, nakuba singakhohlwa ukuthi bekuyizithombe zekhompyutha futhi kukhona abakugcinayo. i-preseason.
Uma siqala ukuhlaziya imoto ngaphambili, sibona into esesiyibonile ku-FW40, okungukuthi ikhala elisekupheleni kwekhala alizange linyamalale. Kusesekhona leso siqongo, okushiya izimbotshana ezinhlangothini ukuze kugeleze okwengeziwe kubheke ngemuva, into efunwa kakhulu njengoba kuvalwe amakhala aphezulu. i-spoiler yangaphambili Ifana ncamashi naleyo imoto enayo ngonyaka odlule, into ejwayeleke uma kuqala isizini, kwazise bajwayele ukuqhubeka nomklamo wabo wokuyishintsha isizini yonke. Ngokusobala, okushintshile ububanzi, ukuzivumelanisa nemithetho emisha, futhi inaleyo delta shape esesivele siyibonile ku-Williams. Yebo iboshelwe ekhaleni elithe ukude futhi nethambeka elithambile ekwindla layo. Khumbula ukuthi amathayi amasha aletha inselele entsha, futhi iphiko kufanele liphambukise ukugeleza emathayini ngokwanele ukuze kuncishiswe ukumelana nodonga lwalo oluseceleni futhi kuncishiswe isiphithiphithi esidalwa ukunyakaza kwesidumbu...
Ijiyomethri yezingalo ezimisiwe nayo ingabonwa futhi ayikashintshi, namapayipi okupholisa amabhuleki awashintshile kakhulu. Okushintshile kakhulu indlela ye ama-sidepods noma amaphontoni, njengoba ukungenisa emoyeni kushintshiwe kancane uma kuqhathaniswa nesizini edlule. Njengoba kwenza uWilliams, abafana bakwaSauber bakhethe ukubakhulisa futhi, esikhundleni sokuba bazungezwe njengangonyaka odlule, bande phezulu, kodwa benza ukuvala okunxantathu ngezansi ukuze benze amaslayidi omoya endaweni engezansi ye- i-pontoon ibheke endaweni engemuva. Esithombeni, kubonakala sengathi ukungenisa umoya kuma-radiators akukancishiswa njengoba kwenzeka kuWilliams, okwenziwe ukulungisa kakhulu i-airbox. Ngonyaka odlule ibingunxantathu futhi inezimbobo ezimbili ezifakwe ohlangothini ngalunye lukanxantathu omaphakathi ukuze kushaywe umoya owengeziwe ukuze uphole, kanti kulo nyaka iwukuthatha okuyindingilizi futhi ihlukaniswe kabili yi-anti-roll structure, ibambezeleka ukungena ngemuva, futhi ukudala ezinye izimbotshana ezimbili ezincane ngemuva kwekhanda lomshayeli. Okuthile okusikhumbuza ukwakheka kweCaterham engasekho (Lotus T128).
Esithombeni esiseceleni, ungabona ukuphakama kwezisekelo ze-pontoon esikhulume ngazo ezigabeni ezedlule. Leyo groove eshiywe umsebenzi womzimba izobangela umoya ukuthi ushelele ngemuva, isebenzisa umphumela we-Coanda. Njengoba sibona endaweni engemuva, indawo engenalutho okuphuma kuyo amagesi ashisayo ngemva kokupholisa izingxenye nayo iphakanyiswe ukushiya umzila omkhulu ukuze ilethe ukugeleza okwengeziwe kuphrofayela yendawo engaphezulu ye-diffuser. Siphinde sibone amabhodi amabhodi amakhulu njengoba bekulindelekile, kodwa into emangalisa kakhulu i-shark fin, enkulu kakhulu futhi engokwesiko kakhulu kune-Williams FW40. Lokho akufanele kube ukuhlanganisa, empeleni kufakiwe ukubhekana nesiphithiphithi esivela ophikweni olungemuva olulungisiwe. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi, iRed Bull yethula okokuqala lesi siphetho ngo-2008, kodwa kulo nyaka babonakale bejabule kakhulu ngesakhiwo sayo, ngakho-ke yibo abamanqikanqika ukuyibuyisa. Nakuba ekugcineni seyenziwe, lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi i-RB13 ingaba nenzuzo ecacile ye-aerodynamic ngaphezu kwezimbangi zayo ebeziyidinga ukugwema ukulahlekelwa ukusebenza kahle ophikweni olungemuva.
Esithombeni esiseceleni ungabona nomsebenzi omuhle kuwo phansi flat, enamaphrofayili kanye nokugoqa ku-carbon fiber yaphansi ukuze kuvalwe indawo engezansi, ukuvimbela ukunyakaza okukhiqizwa isondo ukuthi konakalise ukuvumelana komoya ohamba ubheke ku-diffuser futhi kunciphise ukusebenza kahle kwawo. Akuyona into entsha, sesivele siyibonile kwezinye izimoto ezinkathini zamuva, kodwa ngemva "kokumangala" kwe-Williams, okubonakala kulula kakhulu futhi okuqhubekayo, kuye kwabamba ukunaka kwethu endabeni ye-Sauber. Ingemuva lemoto nalo selinciphe kakhulu, bonke onjiniyela basamatasatasa ngokususa zonke izingxenye zikagesi nokwenza o-gearbox abancane bashiye isikhala esikhululekile kule ndawo, ngaphandle kokukhohlwa ukwehlisa indawo ephakathi nendawo. amandla adonsela phansi kanye nesisindo esisengaphambili sokuguquguquka kwemoto okungcono.
Into ethathe ukunaka kwami ukuthi I-S-Duct ibonakala igqamile ngokungabikho kwayo, into eyivelakancane, njengoba siyibonile esikhathini esidlule e-Sauber futhi siyakwazisa ku-FW40 entsha. Kulo nyaka ukusebenza kahle kwe-aerodynamic kubalulekile, izinguquko ezimisweni zenze izimoto ezibanzi futhi ezinokumelana nokudonsa noma aerodynamic, ngakho ukuba nezixazululo ezithuthukisiwe ze-aerodynamic kufanele kube kuhle. Naphezu kwalokhu, kwa-Sauber kubonakala sengathi bakhethe ukungabi nayo noma ukuthi abafuni ukuyibonisa okwamanje ... Nokho, "ithuluzi" eliyinkimbinkimbi akulula ukwenza umsebenzi naphezu komqondo walo olula kakhulu, into efana nokwenzeka ngeMcLaren F-Duct (eyayivinjelwe eminyakeni embalwa edlule), noma i-DRS ephindwe kabili yeMercedes ephule ukugeleza kwephiko ukuze inciphise amandla aphansi futhi iphinde idonse emigqeni eqondile. Futhi uma siqhubeka sibheka emuva, singabona iphiko elingemuva ngesitayela sika-Williams esihlanzekile, esivumelaniswe nobukhulu obusha obushiwo yimithetho yezobuchwepheshe, egobile futhi ethambekele ngasemuva ngokuya ngama-endplates alo (okuzoba ukhiye wawo wonke ama- izimoto zalo nyaka).
Okokugcina, akumangalisi nakancane ukuthi u-Sauber ubengafuni ukukhombisa izithombe zendawo engemuva, ngoba, njengoba kade siphindaphinda, kuyindawo onjiniyela abayiqapha ngomona ngenxa ukubaluleka kwe-diffuser. Nakuba kwabaningi bethu abantu abafayo simane sibona ama-grooves anamaphrofayili kanye nothango ngaphandle kwemfihlakalo enkulu, izazi ze-aerodynamics ziyafa ukubona izimfihlo ezigcinwe yile ndawo ezimotweni zomncintiswano. Kungakho kujwayelekile ukubona onjiniyela noma abasebenzi basefekthri eqenjini ngalinye benamakhamera angochwepheshe kumasekhethi ukuze bathwebule ngokuningiliziwe zonke izimfihlo zezimbangi futhi bakwazi ukuthola imibono yemiklamo yabo (abangayikopishi ngokuqondile). Isizathu sokungakopishi ngokuqondile imiklamo ukuthi izimoto zenzelwe ukuqala ngephiko langaphambili, bese ziqala ukuklama emuva, zigcine ngephiko elingemuva kanye ne-diffuser ukukhokhela umthwalo owenziwe ngaphambili, ngakho-ke, ezinye izixazululo ze-aerodynamic ezisebenzayo. emotweni eyodwa ingase ingasebenzi kahle komunye umqondo. Sesike sabona abaningi bakhela imoto eduze kwesisekelo sayo se-aerodynamic uma bethola i-lophole emithethweni yobuchwepheshe.
ImpelaU-Sauber unokuningi okumele akugubhe kulo mgubho weminyaka engu-25, futhi uma injini yeFerrari iphila ngokuvumelana nokulindelwe futhi impatho yeqembu laseMaranello ilingana neqembu laseSwitzerland, bangase babe sesimweni esingcono kunangonyaka odlule. bheka kabi. Khumbula ukuthi ngo-2016 balwa noManor ongasekho ngenxa yokungabi ngowokugcina, ngezimpi ezithile neRenault neHaas, kodwa njalo bephansi kwetafula. Mayelana nenjini, kuncane esikwaziyo, vele iFerrari ngeke ihlale ingenzi lutho futhi kuze kube manje isinenjini yesibili ehamba phambili ngemuva kweMercedes, empeleni kulo nyaka bebenethemba lokuthi bazothuthukisa futhi besebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bokuphrinta be-3D kumakhenikha, kodwa asazi ukuthi ngamunye uzothuthuka kangakanani kuze kube sibabona bedlala e-Australia, ingasaphathwa eyenziwa iMercedes, Honda neRenault.
Ngokwalokho esikubona kukho izivivinyo zangaphambi kwesizini encane esingazethemba, njengoba kungenzeka ukuhoxiswa kwamathokheni kuye kwaholela amaqembu afana ne-Renault ne-Honda ukuba athathe izingozi ezengeziwe ekuthuthukisweni futhi ashintshe umklamo wabo ngendlela eqinile, ngakho ukwethembeka kuyoba okubalulekile futhi singase sibone ukuqoshwa okuncane kwamanye amaqembu kulezi zinkinga. Kodwa-ke, akufanele ugcine kakhulu, njengoba kunezinguquko eziningi futhi ngicabanga ukuthi uzodinga ukwazi imiqondo yakho kahle...
