Ferrari F60 aero-mech development in 2009

[SpookTheHamster]

Anyone notice the Red Bull style ridges on the car this morning? Looks like they've made some new chassis in their time off, their photocopiers must have been working overtime.

Not a new chasis. They are "glued" on, just like brawns. RB's is part of the chasis.

FRONT WING - MONACO







A small gurney flap was also added at the rear tip of the second plane .



REAR WING - MONACO





BARGEBOARDS - MONACO





ENGINE COVER - MONACO




EXHAUSTS - MONACO


Similar exhaust outlets to Spain but in addition there was a larger triangular hot air exit at the end of the engine cover due to the lack of the longitudinal side cut . Probably that engine side cutting influenced negatively the rear wing .

[Gonner]

Excellent job, nice. Can you explain why the new DD had " teeth " in Turkey. I understand the need to reduce vortices, hence the teeth in the floor; next to the rear wheels, but I don't see the point on the DD.

Thanks

Thanks

i thought that the teeth created vortices?

[Michiba]

I think they create a bunch of small vortices rather than one big one. There is some discussion somewhere here relating to barge boards. Not sure if the same principles apply because those teeth are much smaller than the 'steps' in Ferrari's barge boards of previous years.

FRONT BRAKES - SILVERSTONE









FRONT SUSPENSION - SILVERSTONE

With their 30kg KERS system immoveable, the only chance for Ferrai to considerably alter the F60's weight distribution was to move the front axle backwards. They have done this for Silverstone by altering the angle of the suspension arms (previous angle in yellow). Of course, to do this they have also had to introduce a new nose, which had to pass the mandatory crash test
