F1 Centre of Gravity

[hhff]

In relation to some minor chassis idea, an answer to the following Q would be very useful:
Is the centre of gravity of a F1 car situated in the lower or upper half of the vertical area between the rear upper and lower suspension triangle mounting points?

anything would be useful...

thx

I'm not sure if you'll find anyone here who knows exactly(hey i hope there is!),but some simple deduction can show that(with low fuel load at least)it's VERY much closer to the lower suspension points than the top.

"it's VERY much closer to the lower suspension points than the top."
top -rear suspension mounting points? as when that's what you mean, I got my answer. I don't need to know the CoG position exactly, as you said this is naturally dependant of fuel loads extra weight placement and engine layout (renault), but whether it's roughly nearer, vertically, to the lower or the upper rear suspension mountings (the rear mountings are lower then the front ones I believe, the upper ones especially)

I think the center of gravity for F1 cars is at where the engine is located.

That's why in theory the lower the center of gravity are the greater the downforce will be and engines are built to be as low as possible. Renault had so far achieved to have the lowest by spreading more of the V angle of their engine.
