Ferrari SF1000

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.

What chassis/aero benefits can a gearbox upgrade bring to your car? Does an f1 gearbox have enough upgrade potential to bring something significant to your performance apart from reliability?

You can use the gearbox to lenghten or shorten the wheelbase which has great impact on the aero and handling of the car.
In Ferraris case there were also the rumours, never proven correct(or incorrect), that the gearbox flexed a bit, not allowing to maintain consistent suspension geometry.

Thus far Ferrari has said it will apply it's tokens to the rear of the car, not necessarily the gearbox... unless there are some more recent news i haven't heard.

Chrono Gp says that Mattia Binotto confirmed to them that Ferrari's gonna use their tokens for a gearbox upgrade and a rear suspension upgrade.

Did Ferrari (or a customer???) not complain of lack of rigidity of the gearbox?
The case of the box is counted as 'the gearbox' so any change here would be a token.
TBH I am surprised they did not do it this year.

Did they not try out a couple of different nose designs throughout the year?
If the modification is based on one of these, it is not 'new' so should not cost tokens.
No! Anyway any change needs crashtest. ANd even if they use all tokens for rear. Doesnt matter. Any huge change before 2021 is waste of money and human resorces.
How do you know Ferrari haven't already crash tested a slim nose this year?

There is one thing that puzzle me.
They have made this probes setting to minimize the effects that the rear mounted structure has on the flow which is studied trying to align all the surfaces and probes to the "expected" direction of the flow in each point of measure.
But why have they left the six black round bars which seems to impact on the flow a lot? It seems somehow half cooked.
A scaled model to the "fence" would have also been used in the wind tunnel of course.

Any change there would require 2 tokens

either of them changes would require 2 tokens each, so that's not going to happen

Where to look at the number of tokens required for changes?

As per rule they cannot bring any modification to the "nose" anymore nor to the front suspensions.
MCL brought the new nose before the "freeze" in that area.

You can make the gearbox slimmer, or longer, that opens up space at the back of the engine cover, tail section of the diffuser. Depending on the shape of the gearbox it can aid aero significantly. It's also the second heaviest part of the car.
