Ferrari F10

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.

better to be looked t in the full size original photo, posted before
They're flexures at the front, the item pointed out is the tether or brake pipe exiting the wishbone. Flexures are used at the front as there's less wheel travel and the wishbones are longer. (Although I have heard that one team have returned to sphericals on the front top wishbone for more accurate geometry at the front.)
At the rear with longer travel and shorter wishbones spherical bearings can be used as well as flexures. Typically sphericals are used for the rear lower wishbone and flexures for the rear top wishbone.

the lower brake duct snorkel is interesting. Did it always project outward like this?

then there's the splitter...

Could be an alternative to the flexible bibs. Could it give a similar effect as if the splitter is almost on the ground?
For Sure!!

I thought attaching wings to the unsprung parts of the car was illegal?

Mclaren uses wings too , but in different way to insure more flow to brakes duct .
Ferrari is more easy on the brakes and uses those wings to heat the front tires that's why the Korean race was the first one with better pace with the harder compound .

According to this article Ferrari will be able to use the engine that was only used in Bahrain practice in Abu Dhabi.
Will this lump have the valve upgrade that Ferrari got permission to do sometime after that race weekend?

http://formula-1.updatesport.com/new...oost/view.html
One of Alonso's eight engines has very low mileage, but has been unable to be used because it was replaced after qualifying at the Bahrain season opener.

The rules prevented Ferrari from re-deploying this engine for anything other than free practice sessions, after it was replaced in Bahrain as a precaution due to the F60 almost overheating.
But because Abu Dhabi is the season finale, Alonso is allowed to use any engine in his allocation there, and the Bahrain qualifying unit is extremely low on mileage.

Bahrain qualifying unit expired during free practice at China.
