The driver interface: the carbon seat, padding, headrest and cockpit layout. For WFR26-E the cockpit was sized from the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male, with modular padding made from the team's own driver measurements.
Ergonomics
Adjustable seat padding developed from driver measurements to hold drivers under lateral forces.
Reinforced in the regions a wear and stress analysis of the previous seat showed were wearing.
A custom ergonomic rig constrained the chassis geometry and set the seat position across the whole driver range.
Modular padding, built from driver measurements, stabilises drivers under lateral load.
The damper covers and their mounting were also redesigned for safety and serviceability.
