Ferrari 150° Italia

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.

I disagree. If that were the case, then hypothetically speaking, using the exhaust for any aerodynamic advantage would be banned ...
It's going to be the same thing with turbos, are you going to ban drivers who are able to hold more boost/response through a corner?
The same thing goes with the periscope exhausts Ferrari pioneered almost a decade ago. Ie, not going to happen.


Btw, in 2008, Raikkonen was the first to get new chassis. :mrgreen:

Yes, remember the F60 :)
Are you kidding me? It extended beyond the bodywork, simple as that. The whole point of that rule was to reduce rear wing efficiency.
So, yes, I remember. Although, clearly, you do not.

Are the front wing supports even deeper than before? might be the pic, its not just the rear wing DRS mech thats changed, it appears the central support is gone entirely.

I also think they look alot deeper. Or is the wing mounted more forward on the pillars???

The first two images in this post, I am 99.99999% certain that these are from preseason testing. I commented on the apparently broken CF around where the suspension members pass through at the time.
