Today's Formula 1 car isss........ the Renault Mild Seven series!!
Car photos below... After all the text
That's right, the cars of MI PADRE, THE ONE AND ONLY FERNANDO ALONSO!!!
If you've checked my profile, you'll know how much I love this BEAST
So, well, many of the photos are of him more than of the car... BUT, the idea is to showcase the team's design, not just the car's :1
So, well, BEAUTIFUL single-seater. I LOVE how Mild Seven's light blue combines with Renault's small yellow stripes; it makes me forget how shady Briatore was, and still is :p
Carrying with it two constructors' championships, two drivers' championships, and the excellent mass damper. A mechanical vibration damping system that uses a suspended and tuned counterweight to counteract the oscillations of the structure, reducing movement and fatigue.
From what I understand—and I'm by no means an engineer—it's a cylinder of a VERY dense metal that is "suspended" in the middle of the front of the car by two springs (I'll upload a photo of the mass damper so it's clearer ^^). So, every time the car, for example, hit a curb, all the vibration (energy) was directed to the suspended cylinder, which released that same energy by vibrating itself, not the whole car.
If I'm wrong and someone knows more about this, could you explain it to me? :D Now that I think about it, I have a mini-book about the Renault R25, so I could read it and investigate further.
Well, that's all I wanted to share about my favorite team's car and driver :D
I hope you liked it!
Here you can see the mass damper



And from here on, the car photos :D

My little collection :D
