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.

Did they actually use it during the race?

Ferrari has started work on there 2012 contender and marked as an "aggressive" design.... but have not abandoned there 2011 contender.... source SPEED

"Aggressive' 2012 Ferrari Project Under Way - Report: Ferrari is already working on the fundamental elements of its 2012 car, according to a report. The Spanish sports daily Marca said the Italian team is still developing the 150 Italia car in parallel, particularly the floor, diffuser, exhausts and the engine mapping. But the chassis, gearbox, suspension and cooling systems for its successor are also on the drawing board at Maranello, with the report saying the approach for next year "will be more aggressive." Ferrari is just third in the constructors' championship behind Red Bull and McLaren, with Fernando Alonso achieving the team's first podium of the season last weekend in Turkey. As for the 2012 car, chief designer Nikolas Tombazis said it is under way in May "because otherwise it will be too late. For this development we have spoken about the problems of this year to have more aggressiveness in the project," he added."

Sounds good, let´s not hope there will be some fundamental changes to the rules for next year though so they have to re-design stuff or whatnot.
The truth will come out...

I'm confident... Hopefully they don't pull a williams and create something like an unreliable gearbox.

Nothing to say from such news actually.
It is pretty standard timeline for an F1 project and considering their performance and earlier complains about designers being not aggressive enough it is what expected.

Interesting rumor from Joe Saward:
There are reports in Italy that Ferrari’s F1 head of aerodynamics Marco de Luca has been moved sideways from his role and is no longer in charge of the development of the F150th with a completely new aerodynamic package being planned (by others) for the Canadian GP.
Could mean de Luca is being demoted OR the opposite -- that he is being freed up to focus on the 2012 car. Or could be just a rumor.

is that what i think it is? The part between the rear exit and the collector of the exhaust? Surly that will mess up the resonance of the exhaust manifold? Who knoes but its a brilliant way of increasing flow volume and lower heat

That is actually pretty clever if it's allowing the gas flow to pull in more air from the sidepods. Not sure if it is though.

Am i right in saying its a Venturi Tube, kinda? would be a brilliant way of collecting hot air from behind the radiator reducing engine "bay" temp and reducing the need for cooling holes at the rear driving aero efficency.

Could be. I wonder if that's allowed though. I think the main effect would be an increase in exhaust gas flow, great for the EBD.

humm? If nothing exits it then i would say yes as the rules only permit 2 exits for the exhaust, one for either bank of cylinders. They also say only V8's with 2 exit valves. Doesnt say anything about how many inlets into the exhaust collector though. It could just be expanding airtight collar between inconel headers and a titanium tailpipe? not sure... but it looks like such a good exploitation of the rules and such a good way of solving many problems. and best of all...no moving parts to go wrong. I just wonder if is detrimental to the power output of the engine though. Many have said how ferrari are down on power already.

If it is what i think, from a NON ferrari fan...WELL DONE marinello =D>
