If your valve would be activated in a 300 km/h turn . Your Merc would meet a wall in no time !
The rear squat suspension is programmed in the track configuration and controlled via GPS .
The system is accurate at +/- 1 meter .
It's impossible to make it work in the Red Bull by the RB16's high-rake .
The Wolf won't tell you that !

While you stay in your fantasy world I choose to look at logic.
Remember different wing configurations will change the level of downforce generated and how much load the rear suspension will see. Generally when you see 300 kph speeds you aren't running the highest wing level because the drag is too high. Therefore a smaller wing means a smaller load and thus 300 kph will not generate enough load to bottom out the suspension, however on the straights where speeds are higher than in the corners you can generate even more down force to meet the loads required to squat the car. This can also be tuned by tuning the damper so when you run a smaller wing less force is needed to cause squatting.
Also your logic would imply that flexi wings don't work unless they're GPS controlled because they'll flex in high speed corners - but they don't because they're precisely tuned for the speed and load they will encounter specifically on the straights. Smaller wings will need to be able to flex easier than larger wings because they don't generate the same amount of down force for instance.
Another counter point is that it took the mercedes in the video alot more than 1m of running on the straights before it squatted, if it was gps controlled it should have squatted earlier to have even faster acceleration. But it didn't, so easily with critical thinking I am able to adequately debunk your myth of mercedes having gps controlled suspension.
Again maybe you should indeed stick to fantasy because the egineering seems to complicated for you to handle.
BTW: rake doesn't matter for the squatting suspension, its whole design is to eliminate rake angle on the straights to stall the diffuser and thus reduce drag, then on the slower speed cornering sections reimplement the rake angle to get more volume under the duffuser for more down force generation. This design allowed mercedes to jack up the rear of the w12 (and if you add high rake to a long wheel base car you get immense amounts of drag along but this clever suspension trick eliminates it) and allow it to still retain fast straight line speeds. Redbull could have this in their rb16b if they wanted to and it wouldn't upset the car because it wouldn't be used where downforce generation is required, however it isn't easy to do so it might take too much engineering investment on behalf of redbull to get this done this season.
