Ferrari F138

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

There are different perforation of the front disc brakes for Alonso and Massa most probably . Are the driver having different choices wrt brake company (AP or Brembo)?

Increase light and look through the circle of the front wheel alignment bracing unit...the Ray mouth has been moved further back.
I try to find..

How much moved back?
:wink:
I can see a small black line here... can it be a smaller "mouth" just to remove boundary layer ?

There is same opening on nosecone , so maybe they only change opening on nosecone to manipulate aerodynamic benefit while opening on chassis stays the same for driver cooling!

No hole in chasis, but 2 holes under nose cone:

I just thought: where are those cameras they usually place on the pylons that hold the front wing?

Actually, check this image before - http://i.imgur.com/mWbGFrr.jpg
As far as I can see it's a two-slot boundary layer removal solution plus stacked duct for driver cooling, which enters the tub right after the nosecone end.

And it seems like the main structure of the nose has Sauber-like shape.

Seems they are using the new RW introduced at last test days, but the front wing is not the last one (the 7 planes one with simplified endplates) but the original one with the strakes on the nose sides, am I right?

Also, there seems to be some black tape covering something at the end of the cooling exits behind the exhausts... Looks a bit weird to me, at leasts I didn't notice it before.

Also, they changed their engine cover. Now it's longer almost reaching the beam wing, unlike what we saw in testing.

No, all the photos depict the old front wing. There haven't been any photos of the new one as of yet. I hope they aren't reverting back to the old one.

Hi. It looks like they're not using the "stingray mouth" under the nosecone, at least not yet. If you look at the underside of the nosecone near the end that meets the tub, you will see they've placed a cover where the opening used to be, and they even sealed it with plastic black tape!Image
