Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

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.

No. Light, shadow, and camera angle.

That I don't remember seeing on other cars - the edge of the diffusor has been straight over the entire width on all ohter cars...hmmm...

Wrong quote man.
Actually more looks like they are covered with a piece of black plastic, but why leave the other side exposed?

Almost looks like the vertical fins are covered on the outside and direct air inside the rear wing only.

For all of those people who continue to criticize the team for and swear the pull rod front suspension is a problem, here's James Allison confirming the pull rod front suspension has NOT been a problem and was NOT a problem on the F14T...


“So when you decide what to work on you have to pick quite carefully the things that you think are going to bring the maximum amount of return for your effort. And push-rod, poll-rod on the front, it has pros and cons either side.

“Pull-rod is probably harder to get light and stiff but it’s probably a bit easier to get an aerodynamic performance from it. So it’s swings and roundabouts. It was an area of the car that was something that wasn’t felt to be a problem on last year’s car and therefore not an area that really merited investment of effort in this time around on the SF-15T.”

Tell that to Kimi fans.

The car from the outside looks too close to the F14T, I hope they improve the front wing, it looks like a joke, 4 years old joke.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember Ferrari running this version of the diffuser last year.

To me it looks like brand new floor with Red Bull-esque outer edges.

I was only against same exact configuration as features previous year. Seeing they changed that, I'm quite pleased.

I like your "Train of Thought". Someone should "Take the Time" to move these "Images and Words". :D

Is that a new front wheel design? Heavier spokes and hub and since the mass of the wheel is pretty tightly controlled, are they going for less rotational inertia?
