The displays and LED configuration are quite a bit different.

An F1 wheel? Come on now, seriously.

No, its not the same as shown on your link! But due to its lack of features, it is either a very old f1 wheel, a lower formula wheel, or a HRT wheel.

It looks pretty damned similar to the GP2 wheel, IMHO : the button colours and positions are correct, the screen is of a similar set of dimensions ... the only difference is the tape wrapped around the grips!

German GP preview:

...
The circuit characteristics, on paper at least, are more likely than recently visited venues to play to the strengths of the Ferrari F10, although it is fair to say that for a variety of reasons, the fact that the car has improved dramatically in recent races has been masked by a series of unfortunate and unlucky incidents, that have kept it out of the top places. Nevertheless, on the stop-start track in Montreal and the higher speed street circuit in Valencia, it proved competitive and even if it could not match the Red Bull benchmark at Silverstone, here too at the English circuit with its high downforce, fast corner characteristics, the car was good enough for the second row of the grid. The engineering team at Maranello has not eased up at all and there are further updates on the car this weekend, with changes to the diffuser and therefore everything points to another competitive weekend for Ferrari.

...and from another angle:


And a comment from Alonso:

At Hockenheim we will have more new parts on the F10, in particular a new version of the diffuser,” he explained. "In Friday free practice we’ll see if it brings the effects we hope for but I’m very confident, given that all the new parts we’ve introduced recently have worked as expected.

Maybe a slot into the diffuser then?

More BIG developments coming for Belgium GP.

You'll need to be able to read Italian but it basically says that after the summer break the team will be bringing a revised rear end to the car. Suspension, Gearbox, diffuser, apparently another huge step in the evolution of the F10.

Looks like Ferrari will be bringing a new revised version of the blown diffuser to Germany as well as the ECU retard function in order to fully maximize the diffusers efficiency during qualifying and key demanding portions of the GP weekend.

How it works

So a C-spec car for SPA with a more rastremated rear part of the car

Are they allowed to change the gearbox during the season? Can they introduce a pushroad suspensions with the revised gearbox?

Very interesting the Omnicorse article

Anzi, pare che Adrian Newey abbia sagacemente sviluppato una strategia che la Renault stava usando per salvaguardare i suoi motori R30: il ritardo di accensione, infatti, era stato pensato per migliorare l'affidabilità del V8 transalpino e non per migliorare le prestazioni.

A differenza di quanto si è pensato e scritto, infatti, con questa mappatura elettronica non si inietta più benzina, ma si fa in modo che le valvole di aspirazione e quelle si scarico rimangano per un attimo aperte contemporaneamente.

Quindi i gas di scarico, in fase di rilascio, sarebbero composti solo da aria calda (altrimenti si registrerebbe un considerevole aumento dei consumi): i tecnici transalpini avevano concepito questa soluzione per ridurre le temperature di esercizio nel cuore del motore, allungando così la vita del propulsore.

Adrian Newey, che è un perfezionista, ha cercato di sfruttare questa opportunità in termini aerodinamici: è per questo che ha impostato la Rb6 con gli scarichi soffianti, ma da quello che si è riuscito a carpire, questa trovata non è utile solo per un giro in qualifica, ma può essere utilizzata anche in gara e non solo per un giro.

They say that the redbull ecu Q3-map was meant to preserve the engine by Renault and then Newey developed it into a performance advantage
It work without burning more fuel, the map create a situation where both inlet and outlet valve are open at the same time, that allows the air to pass through
This map can be used during the whole race because it doesn't increase the stress of the component, viceversa it brings down the operating temperature of the engine

Sorry for the english, i'm italian

If the article is right is something related to the Renaul Engine so Briatore should know everything about it, the engine is the same from the last year.... interestig

Ferrari is coping the RBR so their sistem is legal as the Redbull is, but the question is how it works without be a VVT system like the one described in the article

Seems like sidepods are undercut even more than before.

Yeah, and they may have relocated some of the electronics that would normally be under the radiators.

about the first photo, are new the vertical wings in the fron wing? They are ver renault-looking

The smal hole in the floor near the rear wheel are like mclaren/redbull
The around the rear wheel i've noticed vertical pieces of carbon near the brake ducts like on the saubers, is that new?
