Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

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.

The car looks easier to handle and to change the set-upt. This is something really good for Kimi and Sebastian, they will push this car to its limits, then we have to see where those limits are. :mrgreen:

But at least we will see the real versions of both drivers, something we didnt see in 2014.

Is that the box Scrabs was talking about?
And what did he say?

Not very much IIRC. He said they have an idea what it is but aren't going to go into details until they have more clues. I think Peter Windsor said that maybe something traction control like, but obviously not in the usual sense.

OmniCorse is reporting that tomorrow Vettel will run with a new front wing during testing. OmniCorse says tonight the team submitted the wing to Jo Bauer for scrutineers to to have a look at it. The original article can be found Here

Not much, just that it looked interesting. To me it just looks like part of the cooling system, similar to the system Mercedes used with the W05 last year, albeit with the radiator orientated in the horizontal position.

I agree.
Now the exhaust pipes pass through the gearbox casing like the other cars and unlike 2014.

Looks like Ferrari did a good job to optimize components and weight distribution here...
As for the "Mistery box" it seems to be a cooler as it is fed by the additional airbox intakes, but i would like to see a SF15-T picture to compare it with this one before judging... Could just be a custom solution by sauber

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't see a new front wing as yet.

Hopefully he didn't damage it in the gravel ;)

No you're correct. In the article where OmniCorse says Ferrari made changes to the diffuser, they say the team was holding off from running the new FW and focusing on the rear. Here is the article where it's mentioned.
