Ferrari Project 677 Speculation Thread

[deadhead]

It will be interesting to see how much emphasis they’ve put on flexing the front wing during development since that is now likely to be banned in May.

McLaren and Mercedes are in favor so fun times ahead I guess.

I remember Ferrari specifically asking for clarification from the FIA before introducing their new front wing last year

The rumours out of italy must be true they sayings sf25 is 1 to1.5 seconds faster that the sf24 in the sim.. Lewis and charles must have tested the car already

I’m not sure what you’re objecting to tbh.

That Brundle did not speak about the car in really technical terms.

The conversation came from the fact that Brundle mentioned that Ferrari (ie their *car*) were rumoured to have found more over the winter than their rivals.

I did not hear it like this and everyone should know that such statements are BS...no one knows how much the others have found or have not found. After last year no one even knows if what they have found does not kill drivability.

No one was speculating about the driver, not sure where that comes from tbh.

Brundle was.

I guess now we can officially change the thread title to SF-25 speculation?

AFAIK, there is no rumor about such gain of Ferrari.

Yeah with that new technical directive coming they might have to run those numbers again

There are a couple of rumors about SF25:

1. The first one is about an upgraded car's braking system, which will sport a reverse Bell system to improve the brake cooling & brake cooling management but also to clean the turbulent airflow near the brake duct area :

(starting at 4:59 min.):



2. The second rumor is about the new pull-road suspension system, something that everybody is talking about and seems to be a HAM technical demand for the new car. This system is described by an Italian YouTuber in detail here (you could use translation via CC):

Not a single driver on the grid would be able to tell you the differences between a push-pull rod other than the obvious inversion of the rod.

They are not design engineers nor vehicle dynamists nor aero dynamicists. The people who are make those decisions which are driven by data and evidence, not by the suggestions of a driver who couldn't tell you the difference if they tried. Besides that Hamilton has never driven a pull-rod front car in his time in F1, where would his preference stem from?

Let's not believe such ridiculous crap.

PS: Never ever ever quote a F1 news page from Youtube as a source of rumors. They talk about things they don't understand, which they explain poorly or incorrectly with their AI voice generators for the purposes of generating clicks.

I think what they MEANT was lewis commented on suspension on Merc and maybe wanted to have some ideas on what ferrari are doing. No way did he go into negotiations and say i want this/that suspension layout!!!
that i think is click-bait headlines to say lewis demanded a certain suspension layout at the front lol

[NoDivergence]

There have been many instances of drivers going hey, this competitor is doing xyz, maybe we should take a look into that.

Redbull and McLaren won the titles last year and were a step above everyone else. Obviously you want to look at what they are doing that is different to the rest of the field
