Ferrari 150° Italia

New engine cover over the exhaust.

[ringo]

much trimmed down. Good thing it's silverstone, cause the car looks like it will overheat with these tight panels.
Looks good though.

The first two images in this post, I am 99.99999% certain that these are from preseason testing. I commented on the apparently broken CF around where the suspension members pass through at the time.

i thought the same thing too, but looking at the image above in ringo's post, it's definitely from today.

It could well be the engine cover use for transportation.

It could well be the engine cover use for transportation.

This, this is brought up about every race weekend.

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

It's seems they had a flexi wing this weekend..

[Tyler]

its not just the rear wing DRS mech thats changed, it appears the central support is gone entirely.

Yep, it's completely gone. Would there be much reduction in drag without this?
Also what would be the benefit over the new motorized DRS like Red Bull have over the old hydraulic system?
I would have thought that the motorized system is not as fast but maybe that helps with keeping the flow attached?

[Pierce89]

go Fred!! the updates seem to work

[Pierce89]

Wow! Ferrari found some DF, during the last stint Fred was pulling 7 tenths a lap just in the high speed sector 2, with tons of high speed stuff(copse maggots beckets etc.)

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

i think a lot of people will be surprised when Ferrari will kick some ass again..

7 tenth in copse maggots beckets it's awesome.

[hollus]

A properly calibrated wind tunnel starting to pay off?

[Goran2812]

let's hope they get even stronger how the season progresses...
the wdc fight is probably over, but Ferrari is gonna give as a show until the season ends i think...
and yeah... 7 tenths in one sector... :O

[raymondu999]

Mind you; it's not any old sector. It's the Becketts Esses where the Bulls should be the strongest

[hardingfv32]

This is clearly a case of the competition coming back to Ferrari's level and not any improvement on the part of Ferrari.

[raymondu999]

to be fair maybe the Ferrari improved a bit, but certainly not the 8 tenths necessary to get close to Red Bull (in qualifying) on such high-aero tracks
