Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H

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.

Look how the 'air box'starts drooping much earlier than F15T... Maybe a hint that the compressor moved much forward..?

hmm this is quite interesting would be good to see a comparison between the mp4-30 and sf16-h to compare/ see which one is tighter, maybe this is a sign that mclaren are going a good route in terms of aero

It seems, we definitely have a longer wheelbase

How can you tell this?

Both images are not at same scale but if they were I don't think there would be much difference between both cars.
We have this every year. It's impossible to compare accurately compare wheelbase of cars from photos that are taken at different times, from different lens', from different distances. certainly not to the degree you're suggesting.

I don't think this prove anything, we already knew the MP4-30 was a good car.

Slimmed down and stretched sidepods. The cooling must be impressive. I expect the rear might open a bit more during testing. Also, there are cooling exits now on both sides of the driver. The sidepod slope from top to bottom is more like the rest of the cars now. Over the past several years it had a bit of a side slope to it.

The lower front suspension members look like they reverted back to normal rather than the combined Mercedes style, at least from looking from the top.

The air box for the engine only has one support pillar, and it's tiny.

Overall a very sleek, good looking car. They improved in all the right areas aero related. PS, the livery looks good too - ha!

well we dont for sure unless engine is good, but i think the angle of the mclaren pick is slightly different but by the looks of it ferrari is just as tight at the back and is smaller at the front because of smaller inlets, good news

Radiator layout has clearly changed. Hence the very different sidepods/engine cover...

Looks like those comments about upright radiators was true. Seems to have allowed them to slim down the sidepods much sooner.

Well, it's interesting to see how the Zero-size™ concept has been implemented by Ferrari

This will surely impact low speed agility, will it not?

Front tyre, front and rear wing is much bigger in the SF16-H side.

It straightens airflow toward the rear wing.
