Ferrari F60

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.

It does seams a little odd how often the combination of them both are used. I'd have thought that maybe 5 or 6 pre-defined brake balances could be set to different positions on the lever and they could just selected one of those before a corner. But maybe more precise alterations than that are needed, or it could be to do with the entire system having to be purely mechanical.

Anyway its impressive to watch!

I believe that it's less clear cut than just having a few settings, each for a different corner. The balance of the car is a permanently changing thing, with tyre wear, fuel use, wind direction etc. etc. all changing things. In this way it's probably just easier to give the driver a range to work in and let them feel what they need as they go?

that top photo particularly is mighty impressive for a photochop!

the white looks ordinary at best tho. sure hope they stick to red wings, with white writing..

EDIT: just saw the ESPN article that it was a promo shot.. so that is the livery.. wow.. i'm not a fan of the changes!

I'm loving it, hailing back to the Ferrari's of the late 90's - early to mid 00's :)

I would've liked to see black wings.
Plus, I'd like to see them remove those damm bar code lines off the engine cover. Is Marlboro still providing sponsorship?

I am not going to hide it, i think the 2009 car and livery was one of the best looking ferrari F1 cars; the all red with the etihad on the rear wing was sleek.

This now; strangely the white just says to me: Shumacher should be driving this..
For Sure!!

in fact i heard reports that he has increase the horsepower by 10%
reduce the fuel consumption by 30% and the super soft now can last the whole race.. and the downforce by a further 30% which means he is able to drive 5sec faster than schumacher/kimi/massa per sector....

And that he reckons that if he was driving the F60 he could have got hat-tricks and win every race by 15 laps, despite ferrari doing a conspiracy against him.. and apparently santandar wants him out of the car, and under all this pressue he feels that he is the most complete driver of all time

oh did i forget he also say that there isnt enough spanish fans on spanish tracks when he was racing, FIA is also doing a conspiracy against him.....
