Blockers on Rear Suspension for Aero .

After not seize a single podium last season , McLaren - Mercedes ready rampage this season .
How they dominated the test session in Jerez is the signal . Blockers on the rear suspension widened touted one of the key pace MP4 - 29 .
When compared with the other teams in the rear suspension , rear suspension rods MP4 - 29 is different .
On the other team , the suspension rod sticks shaped like an elongated connecting the wheel to the car body .
Suspension rods belonging to McLaren , amounting to four pieces are equipped with fin -shaped blocker .
Apparently, the wrapped blocker , McLaren rear suspension can provide an aerodynamic advantage .
When the low speed , blockers can increase downforce . In high speed , the unique suspension can reduce wind resistance .
The advantage of this is believed to be one of the reasons why so fast in the McLaren at Jerez test .
Absent on the first day ( 28/1 ) due to electrical problems , they immediately fastest on the second day by Jenson Button .
On the third day , the McLaren rookie Kevin Magnussen is also capable of being the fastest .
Until now , the unique suspension FIA McLaren was not at issue , because the extra blocker was indeed part of the suspension .
The teams competitor plans to ask the FIA ​​to ascertain whether it is legal McLaren suspension .
If allowed , they will be abuzz cheating . Very hard to do because it would require a revolution in the rear suspension , but because the effect is so large , it seems McLaren competitors will allocate a lot of energy to develop .
Ferrari technical director James Allison is one of those who paid attention to the suspension of the McLaren .
" I have not seen in detail . Just a cursory look through the motion blur on some sites , " said Allison told Autosport .
" I will observe it in more detail , " he continued .
Rod Nelson , chief test engineer Williams and support , without straightforwardly stated the suspension will cheat .
They will begin to develop in the wind tunnel if there is confirmation from the FIA ​​that McLaren suspension is legal .
" There are some parts of the other teams that we will test in the wind tunnel , " said Nelson .
" McLaren rear suspension is one concrete example . Legalize If FIA , we will not hesitate to develop it , " he said .
Nelson assess , McLaren 's unique suspension expedite the flow of air from the diffuser .
" The function of the last season performed by the lower rear wing , but part of it is now prohibited , " he said .
Because part of the suspension , the rear suspension blocker MP4 - 29 participated opens or closes when the speed of the car changed . When the MP4 - 29 in low-speed , high car ride in a higher position . That means the distance of the bottom of the car with asphalt are relatively distant . These conditions will also occur when you are driving a car in low speed. In contrast to the high speed , the car ride high in the lower position .
In case of a high ride height , blockers will close the gap on the top of the diffuser .
It gives a higher downforce .
In contrast , the high ride position is lower, when the car in high speed , it will open up blockers to reduce drag .
So , blocker -shaped fin on the MP4 - 29 rear suspension that gave the two aerodynamic advantages at once, either when the car is in the high or low speed .
