It means that, in practice and qualifying at least, the team can either have a straight-line speed advantage for the same cornering performance, or give themselves more cornering pace by increasing the downforce without suffering the penalty on the straights that would normally create.
The 19-inch Michelin all-season tires were not the optimum solution for snow or for maximum cornering performance on dry pavement, but their relatively low rolling resistance helped me to achieve the promised 23 m.p.g.
That is a force that counteracts the downforce the team are trying to create to give maximum cornering performance.
But both men denied it had anything to do with a rule change restricting ways in which Red Bull improve cornering performance with engine settings.
The issue, which arose at the German Grand Prix, surrounds settings that ran counter to the intention of the rules, improving cornering performance.
A new rule has been issued ahead of Sunday's Hungarian GP to prevent Red Bull running specific settings aimed at improving cornering performance.
This paper focuses on the future tasks and direction of chassis control technologies that mainly control cornering performance including 4WS, with three generations of chassis control system development.
Rather than the common method (steady state rolling analysis) used for cornering behaviour simulations, ABAQUS/Explicit program was used for prediction of the cornering performance and relaxation length for a constant slip angle of the rolling tyre.
But that's not exactly encouraging - one is, well, a Sauber; and Red Bull have massive problems with the driveability of the Renault engine, which is badly holding back its cornering performance.
Red Bull's performance, on a track on which they have dominated for the last two seasons in terms of pure pace, will confirm in many minds that they have been knocked backwards by a rule change before this race restricting the manner in which they were altering engine settings for improved cornering performance and tyre wear.
