Scuderia Ferrari have officially opened the voting to decide which will become the official name of the team's 2014 Formula One contender. The team has made 5 choices available with 2 currently the clear favourites.
Hopeful? Yes. Realistic? Absolutely not. But it doesn't hurt to try. Who knows they have just hired a naive individual over there who just might be a bit loose-lipped.Forza Ferrari wrote:Are you really hopefull they will give you the name of the new car ??
I'm sure they haven't even thought about it, and Montezemolo is the only one who decides this kind of thing, IMHO.
I really hope they have much better to do than reflect on the name of their forthcoming car, it could be named
166146Tspecial edition championship, it wouldn't make it faster...
Yeah, and also they the will hire MAL as ALO replacement in 2015.timbo wrote:What's certain is that the internal designation for the car is 665 for it.
Wonder would they use 666 for 2015 car
I can understand it's tempting, but it doesn't exclusively relate to the 2014 f1 car. Plus it has been posted in the appropiate thread already.FrukostScones wrote: should we include the testing LaFerrari mule vid here, i d find it appropriate.
The lower nose would diminish CofG advantages of pull rod. Fry said they mostly pursuit aero advantages however it seems if they used pull rod to condition the flow over sidepods they didn't succeed much. With the lower position of the nose this effect may also decrease. They clearly spend a lot of effort on 2014 car so "carry over" won't play into the decision IMO.diffuser wrote:I would have thought that by now they had it figured out. Also,you'd think, the pull-rod made it easier to fit with the lower nose requirement for 2014.
AFAIK Tombazis is still chief designer. Byrne is probably still in his consulting role.SectorOne wrote:Holm86 wrote:Is Rory back on the team?? Or just as a consultant?SectorOne wrote:Yea Red/Black would be so sweet, bring back the sinister looking Ferrari livery.
Will be interesting to see just what Rory Byrne will produce actually.Chief Designer apparently. Very exciting stuff.In February 2013, at the launch of F138 - in interview to the German Auto Motor und Sport Rory Byrne said that he is "working full steam" on Ferrari’s 2014 F1 car, in a role which will see Byrne return to the role as chief designer.

However, I absolutely do think they already have the official name thought out. And no, it doesn't make the car faster; you are more missing the point. When the number doesn't refer to the present year, ferrari puts a lot of thought behind it. It is such a banality cared so carefully that it has it charmes.
Single turbo, so 611. But number of exhausts and turbos was never used in their numbering.diffuser wrote:How bout six cylinder twin turbo single exhaust? F621 or F6213......
So you mean Transversal gearbox? Meeh. Tight coke-bottle disprove it..poz wrote:F146T
No totaly true. Numbering they never use it for nuber of turbos or exhaoust outlets.But C, CK and also CX they use it to name Comprex compressor charging system.timbo wrote:Single turbo, so 611.

So all other teams claiming to design their cars around the new 2013 are lying, something Newey also said already. You can't design a car based on a tire. Tires have always been a black art for engineers and till this day it is. Like Fry said they were lucky that new tires worked well with the car. I was the get really irritated by Lotus and Force India those 2 claiming to have found a way to design their cars around the tires.....Fry: Du musstest schon sehr clever sein, wenn du anhand eines Tests in Brasilien 2012 aus den Daten so viel herausgelesen hast, dass du dein Auto dafür maßschneidern konntest. Bei uns waren es nur sieben Runden. Wir haben von der generellen Chartakteristik unserer Autos profitiert. Sie sind seit Jahren nett zu den Reifen. Wir hatten selten Probleme mit Überhitzen der Reifen. Es hatte nichts damit zu tun, dass wir ein besonders schlaues Auto für diese Reifen gebaut haben. Es hat einfach zufällig gepasst.
Lotus never said that, I mean the engineers. Permane and Allison always said they give special attention to the tires and the mechanical grip but I don't remember them claiming ''we designed the E21 around the 2013 Pirelli''.kooleracer wrote: I was the get really irritated by Lotus and Force India those 2 claiming to have found a way to design their cars around the tires.....
