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.

Toro Rosso STR11 Ferrari

Post

This the official car topic about the 2016 Toro Rosso contender, the STR11 Ferrari. This thread will handle more stringent rules:

-Absolutely no livery talk in the car topic. Liveries are by nature topics assigned to the team thread, and should be discussed there. Posts about liveries in the car thread will be removed.

-Discussion about the car's hardware only. No discussion about the laptimes (should be discussed in the testing or race threads; test thread is here: http://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewto ... =1&t=23795" target="_blank). No speculation or rumors towards future features of the car; no speculation about the competitive performance (car beats car B but car C, etc.). Such discussions will be removed as well.

-Discussion about the Power Unit should belong in its respective PU topic. How the car's chassis and bodywork is adapted to it remains in the car thread, but pure features of the PU don't go there. Since this is quite a grey area, we will not remove transgressions on that front, but will move them when appropiate.

That might sound strict and is infact so, but this is done to safeguard the topic quality. We will be very thorough about that this year! If you don't find anything worthwhile to post, please resist the urge and do not post. There is nothing wrong with that and is infact the better option when there's nothing new.

It probably isn't because of the Ferrari engine but that car looks short!

I think that is what's giving the sidepods that extreme look, they are so short! So the tapering is much more extreme than others. Looks really good.

But what does that have to do with the fact that the car looks short?

I thought it was reported that the wheelbase would increase because of the Ferrari engine but to me it doesn't look like it when I look at the pictures
