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.

Transportation engine cover. See the broken bit is still there at the push rod entry/exit. That engine cover has been there for transportation since about China/Turkey i think.

Why is the small air deflector or wing-let in front of the rear tire look like a two part assembly?

In case anyone missed it: Scarbs does a great job describing the F150's variable rear anti-roll bar in his blog. Sounds like an ideal solution that helps the car be kind to its tires while still giving excellent mechanical grip. Thanks scarbs.

That anti roll bar style was used on the WIlliams cars 2 years aback.
Ferrari are definitely jumping the curbs harder, but it don't think it's based on their use of push rod.

The package seems quite high and bulky. Now that i see it from this angle.

Near as dammit to the RB7. The F150 LOOKS STRONG on tracks that aren't aero intensive. The lack of fast corners helps more than the high speed straights, I believe. I'm pretty sure that the Macca and Merc are both faster on top speed, but the Ferrari's mechanical grip really paid dividends today.
