Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

[Frafer]

I do believe that with those regulations we aren't going to see a lot of aero-wise upgrades during this season. I am pretty confident that we are near to the maximum efficiency for that point, a lot of stuff have stayed more or less the same since 2009 and we've already two big upgrades rampage, with front wings and ebd. Now there isn't a lot of room for more, IMHO

There's always room for more, just the performance increments get smaller and the details finer.

I also suspect that the new nose camera mountings are a done deal on the new nose. It really makes no sense to remanufacture this nose with alternate mountings. I'm confident we will see a very different face of the SF15 in Melbourne.

I think they'll now be looking at what Mercedes did. Not too difficult to implement that, and the FIA declared that legal.

Indeed that's what i meant

Seems odd to leave the new nose for a debut in Melbourne without any testing- especially after we're read how big an effect it has (nose changes for this year in general) on airflow over the car. They're verifying all manner of other wind tunnel associated data with sensors and yet one seemingly very valid one is left to theory? Weird.
Maybe it'll appear over the next three days, I certainly hope so.

It may indeed be Vettel in the car tomorrow, but Autosport headlined the article as Kimi trying the new the new parts on Friday.

The new jet black paint job on the front wishbones looking stunning! I like it.

As stupid and ridiculous as it looks...yes. Sometimes I think that the FIA should just make a drawing of a certain element like this that gets waaay too much attention for what its worth and tell the teams "if it looks like this, its legal, otherwise, bugger off". Until then, we'll see engineers push beyond what is thought possible.

Camera mountings new? In this angle looks a bit different
