Interesting that this fellow claims that it also affects ride height? That is a bit of a wrinkle.
Interesting, but please don't use made-up abbreviations like that, F1 is technical and complicated enough as it is! TaYesterday I posted about Karma. Now Racing Point is doing like a certain person and throwing out accusations to deflect. Ridiculous. Racing Point has been complaining about Haas for years. Chalie Whiting and his successor said they were within the rules. I used to like the plucky little team, but now I think I would prefer to cheer for a Briatore team.

As part of the announcement, F1 also confirmed that subscribers to their over-the-top platform will receive an improved live timing experience.
The improved experience for fans was clear from the first seconds of testing, with a more detailed view of lap times for each driver.
From a graphics perspective on-screen, testing now feels like an extension to a race weekend: the timing wall, split times, on-board angles, and team radio all on offer as proceedings opened in Barcelona.
In fact, it was the second day of testing when coverage came into its element: revealing the ‘Dual Axis Steering’ (DAS) device on the new Mercedes W11, only noticeable via on-board camera angles.
Mercedes would have successfully hidden the device until Australia just two years ago, something that is now impossible thanks to the level of coverage F1 is giving testing.
You can criticise live coverage of testing all you want, but on days like today, it proved its use to both fans and journalists, giving F1 publicity that it would have not received in previous years.
As was the case twelve months ago, personnel from Sky and F1 formed the hybrid team for testing, with nine people live on-air during the first day of running.
Alex Jacques, Jolyon Palmer, Rosanna Tennant, and Tom Clarkson represented F1’s in-house digital output, with David Croft, Rachel Brookes, Natalie Pinkham, and Ted Kravitz joining from Sky, Kravitz back for testing after his absence last year.
Laura Winter was the ninth person on-screen during day one, Winter joining the F1 team during ten race weekends in 2020, whilst Will Buxton also featured during the second day.
A team has been formed to analyse the rules and approach them from the engineering side to ensure that no team can find hidden advantages and gain dramatically over its rivals with a unique concept.
Great news! Saw this was scheduled to record on my Tivo (I have an old wishlist for MotoGP that I never deleted after it moved to crappy beIn sports) and can't wait.MotoGP now on NBC Sports.
In my opinion and many others, the best racing of all. Now on a major TV network:
