Phase changing material temperature control
Discussion
Seen a few videos over the last few days pushing at Mclaren tyre temps after the dig from redbull and tyre water cooling. how they are managing in it better then the other teams over a race distance, if this is how they are doing it it's very cool, what's your thoughts

That's really interesting and that would be a classic kind of Formula One innovation. With all this finger pointing and various different things you would really think that it would be easy to squash any allegations of water being sprayed onto something just by looking at it quite easily. If it is the case I wonder if it would be banned or if it would be something that the other teams will have to catch up with and that will take some time. Thanks for posting the link

Red Bull? A phrase involving the words pots and kettles springs to mind.https://youtu.be/YTnAZxqD5w4?si=MiWEAOcvzqDmdyzM

That’s an interesting idea, McLaren are clearly doing something right with regard to tyre temperature management and it was noticed back in testing how complex the brake cooling ducts are on their car.
Some fancy new material wouldn’t be a surprise, nor would teams working with aerospace companies and universities about the latest innovations in material science.
What they’re not doing is spraying water around, as Mr Horny was suggesting and Zak Brown was mocking with his drink bottle in Miami.
The car has continually passed scrutineering, so it’s clear that the FIA are happy with the design and implementation. It’s also traditional for the teams to clear these things in advance with Jo Bauer (FIA Technical Delegate to F1, chief scrutineer) and his team.
Personally I love this sort of innovation, it’s a huge amount of what makes a prototype series so exciting to follow.

Agree RE last paragraph, just a shame it's naturally a tradeoff with good racing (unless all teams innovated).Some fancy new material wouldn’t be a surprise, nor would teams working with aerospace companies and universities about the latest innovations in material science.

Gary Anderson thinks it's just some clever air ducting at work.
