Ferrari 150° Italia

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.

Um, the fastest car so far is the Renault. About 0.5s faster than the RB7 so far. Whatever that means.
but on long runs the rb7 is a second faster ;)

Did we just forget about last season? For everyone else it's been a case of cataching up.

Well, I suppose it's become pointless for engineers to look at aspects of other teams' cars then thanks to the insight of people on this forum! The reality is somewhat different.

RB7 and R31 did not similar long runs. You can't compare.
And it's too early.

This quote was interesting, I go it from the pull rod thread (don't follow that thread, it is too painful)

That sounds tantalizing. Radical changes to the bodywork in Bahrain?

Soulds like that quote would fit in the "Ferrari is a follower" thread -- also very painful to follow. IMHO. :lol:

Why measure on the back of the safety light? I would think running along the sides would have been more useful...but I'm no expert. Does anyone know?

well this isn't a hole. It looks like the outer surface of the sides of the pipe.

What's that vertical edge in matte finish, right behind the A arm?

Gas could be flowing behind there and near to the rain light.

In essence it could be blowing bellow the beam wing, which it think has more priority this year than the top of a single closed surface diffuser.
For Sure!!

I made some more animated png (if they are not animating for you, then you need a different browser) that show the differences between Mac, Merc and Ferrari. I know they are not 100% the same angle, but good to give an idea. I have tried to line them up against the engine inlet and the side head protections to get a good comparison of the main body.
I'm x-posting it for all three relevant cars.

I thought i wasnt going mad, they have a covered channel too. on massa's car yesterday. it seems as though they switch between the two configurations. Seems as though its directed at the middle o the diffusor to flow over the top and not into the sides like red bulls diffusor.

but i can't find a clear picture of where that duct ends up exactly.
