Merely two days before the start of winter testing at Jerez, Scuderia Ferrari has unveiled its new car online, displaying a clear evolution of its predecessor while featuring a long and pointy nose.

Ye i never get why ferrari never do it like the others. So what was the 666 name about then?

SF15T with intercooler in the V of the ICE, 500 bar injectors, very short Mercedes style manifolds. oil tank no more in the gearbox spacer but between engine and chassis. Nose low and flat , pull rod suspension.
the missed renovation of the front suspension (from pull to push) would have resulted in a major changes of the chassis diverting forces and men from the most critical areas where instead it was possible to intervene

Can someone help me here? Will they really be able to get anything like the same amount of cooling with their intercooler on top of the engine where it's very hot, compared with a team that has the intercooler in the sidepod. Clearly, there'll be packaging advantages but it seems like a strange one to me. Thoughts from someone with more technical insight would be appreciated!WilliamsF1 wrote:Harsha wrote:Autosprint speculates this kind of nose

Looks good
But intercooler within the V would mean a turbo layout similar to last year
Ferrari use a liquid to air intercooler.bonjon1979 wrote:Can someone help me here?

Thanks Wuzak. I can see there are advantages to this system but I imagine there is also extra weight with regard to the coolant and the pump used to move the coolant. Interesting.
I hope not, but it surprises me a lot to keep the same suspension. Perhaps I am wrong but I think that Vettel would prefer another type of suspension too. Both drivers could work better with a similar set-up.mcalex wrote:Another lost year for Kimi ... same front suspension
This forum is about to speculate, sorry If I behave with some logic. I could be wrong, I have never stated that it is true.Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:Why Vettel and Raikkonen would prefer push rod instead of pull rod ? You have no proof that Raikkonen problems was because of pull rod, so why talking about this subject ? Really, i don't understand.
Alonso said many times there is no difference between the two when you drive. If front pull rod was a problem for Ferrari, it would have been ditched two years ago already. The team know better why Raikkonen was not happy last year so please, stop this speculation with pull rod push rod..
You could made educated guess. So little knowledge of kinematics an harmonics and OLE you got my +1 for the effort.Vasconia wrote:This forum is about to speculate, sorry If I behave with some logic.
