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.

I find it very interesting that now they seem to be able to churn a new wing out every weekend. Would that be a Cologne wind tunnel effect, or a Pat Fry effect?

Just the effect of switching between 3 wings

It seems they tweaked the exausts exit, maybe to better suit the new diffuser.

Looks like they're smoothing out the surfaces over the exhaust. Everyone up till now seems to have simply had a shrouded pipe sitting on the floor without much attention given to the airflow over it.

Bob's observation for the day – where's the big cooling exit above the beam wing gone... Maybe the upgrades didn't work so well?

Maybe they don't need that much cooling for Canada in comparison to the slower speeds of Monte Carlo.

Low drag rear wing - less angle of attack.
Curved wing support (It looks like an archer's bow)
Exhaust pipes exit more forward from the side pods.
Cooling hole reverted to slot gap in engine cover (Cooler climate in Canada? Or more high speed cooling? less drag penalty too?).
Exhaust pipes pointing ever so slightly downwards.
any more differences in the pic?

I think now they reached the point where the pushrod suspension is hurting them. Not a very big deal, but I think they could squeeze out a bit more performance with pullrod. It looks like they're trying to clean up that rear airflow with every upgrade, but now what to do with that pushrod ?
