Update 6/15/2022 - Yes, the Mate confirmed that we fell for this April 1 joke by Craig Scarborough. Craig is so good that he managed to make a totally believable joke, as there are numerous real studies on the subject (links below) that we researched before publishing.

We want to take this opportunity to thank several "social media F1 experts" for giving us so much attention by spreading the Grand Prix We would like to take this opportunity to thank the various "social media F1 experts" for giving us so much attention by spreading the word about the F1 World Champion since December 13, 2021, the day after the Abu Dhabi GP, which defined the F1 World Champion of that year.

Craig Scarborough is a freelance journalist/illustrator who has been following Formula 1 since the 1970s and since 2000 has focused exclusively on the technology used in F1.According to
what Scarborough wrote on his Twitter, Red Bull has reportedly found a rather ingenious solution to the problem of their car's ticking, so they can run the car very close to the asphalt without suffering the problem.
"With gas springs and inert prohibited, they explored a shock absorber filled with non-Newtonian fluid (NNF)."
"Everyone knows from home science experiments that non-Newtonian fluids are liquids, but become semi-solid when a large force is applied to them. Like cornstarch in a speaker experiment, even cream is an NNF!"
"I spoke with Honda's former RBR suspension engineer, Kesonyu-san, about the system. The NNF-filled damper does not affect the normal motion of the suspension, but when the car starts to bounce, its non-Newtonian properties resist the bounce. 'Engineering Intervention Porpoising' he calls it!"
"Jo explained to me that the fluid is difficult to design, operate and maintain. It needs to be at a higher temperature, so the RB18's rear pushrod suspension setup puts the fluid damper near the hot exhaust. Mechanics joke that it's the cream damper, but getting the hot damper out has risks..."
Editor's note: The Autoracing was not able to confirm this with his source inside Red Bull, who did not deny it, but also did not confirm it.
