Scarbs on new Ferrari SF16-H. Interesting! =D> =D> =D>

SF16-H short ONBOARD with Halo and Seb!!

No discussion about the halo allowed in this thread, other then it's impact on the performance of the car. I'll move the none-complying posts later on.

The halo is not a part of the SF16-H, so why bother at all to discuss it here?

Because it might have effect on, for instance, the airflow going to the rear wing. Or how about it is placed on a position usually reserved for cooling gills. That's hardware functionality and is relevant to this topic. What is not relevant is:
-whether or not it is (f)ugly.
-whether it could have saved Bianchi
-whether or not it makes you completely safe from any danger.

[George-Jung]

What I meant, was that it will never be part of the '16 car.. They only tested it for the future, perhaps they will not even use this halo device at all.

That it has been bolted on the SF16-H does not make it worth -imho- to discuss, because it will not be relevant to this years car.

Let's move on

Edit: my apologies, I thought this was a private message.

According to AMuS Ferrari's wheelbase is: 3,494 mm. Merc's 3500mm

[f300v10]

Ferrari tested a serrated inboard flap edge on the front wing in addition to the serrated gurney on the rear wing:

[George-Jung]

Didn't Ferrari always use a 5 element front wing previously?

Outer section is 6 or 7 inner is 4 I think, like last year.

Interesting given previous attempts at comparison. Anyone know last year's car's wheelbase?

FWIW, Gazzetta's analysis. It's from their February 21st issue.


AI RAGGI X
DOVE CAMBIA LA ROSSA
1. Il muso corto migliora la pulizia del flusso d’aria inferiore.
2. Lo schema push-rod della sospensione anteriore.
3. L’abitacolo risulta avanzato rispetto al 2015 di circa 7 cm.
4. La consistente riduzione della sezione posteriore delle fiancate.
5. Invariato il passo.
6. La lunghezza totale risulta ridotta di circa 7 cm: lo si evidenzia dalla posizione del bordo di uscita dell’ala.

More on point 5: PASSO
Risulta praticamente identico al precedente (5): cambiarlo non avrebbe avuto senso a causa della distribuzione dei pesi fissata dal regolamento (45,5 anteriore e 54,5 posteriore). Il passo non si è accorciato grazie all’inclinazione verso il posteriore dei bracci dei triangoli della sospensione. Si nota il braccio posteriore del triangolo superiore fortemente inclinato all’indietro, nel raffronto diretto con quello della SF15-T.

X-RAY
WHERE TO CHANGE THE RED
1. The short muzzle enhance the cleaning of the lower air flow.
2. The push-rod front suspension.
3. The passenger compartment is advanced compared to 2015 of about 7 cm.
4. The substantial reduction of the rear section of the side panels.
5. Unchanged pace.
6. The total length is reduced by about 7 cm: it is evident from the position of the wing trailing edge.

More on point 5: STEP
Is practically identical to the previous (5): change it would not make sense because of the weight distribution determined by Regulation (front and rear 45.5 54.5). The pitch is not shortened due to the inclination towards the rear of the arms of the suspension triangles. You notice the rear arm of the upper triangle strongly tilted backwards, in direct comparison with that of the SF15-T.

Tiny correction to translation. Subtle but gives more context to the "more on point 5" section.
5. Unchanged wheelbase.
