Aha, sounds strange.

I thought the system is actived at a certain point and if the driver brakes it is going to be deactivated until the next lap. So who made it available for him just right after the hairpin so quickly?

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

According to Gazzetta:

F150 evo for Turkey :

Rear suspension changes: -lower wishbone's pick up points would be higher.
-higher pushrod's pick up point.
Front wing: "Flexi" wing.
new nose
New diffuser

Turkey is the first step, Ferrari will have more radical update during summer.

Basically, F150B could bring one second improvement.

"."Meanwhile, as we anticipated Sunday, assistance for the 150 ° Italy Turkish GP cover the front wing flexible - to adapt to the Red Bull Racng - and the rear suspension. In the rear, in fact, you can get two positive effects: first, by moving higher up the point of attachment of the strut to the upright (which is now anchored at the bottom) you can leave the area for the passage of hot exhaust gas, thanks to which can generate a "thermal short skirt" which allows you to "seal" the extractor back asphalt, thereby increasing downforce.

Not only that, but having to intervene in that you can change the suspension geometry to adopt quell'assetto beaten who did so much to discuss the Red Bull RB7, raising the height of the car in the back and encouraging, therefore, a greater ability to air intake below the bottom, adding that the load is missing.

In the front, however, you will see a wing with flaps flexible style RBR, which is essential to balance the increased load back and make a red car less sensitive to understeer (a tendency to go off on a tangent of the curve) and then more drivable and powerful."

If the upright had pull rods, they wouldn't have to be moving the mounting points upward. This is good information for the pull-rod vs push-rod thread.

i wish they can cover the 1 second and win races again

Can Ferrari bring upgrade while they have problem with their wind tunnel or they must solve their problem before bring update.
I am confused.

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

They will use Toyota wind tunnel instead of Maranello wind tunnel.

The toyota one is one of the best one tunnel.

The Maranello one seemed to work fine last year...

Last year, for the F10 Ferrari use Dallara wind tunnel.

[ESPImperium]

Ferarri used the Toyota tunnel for 60% of the time last year, and the other 40% was split equally between Dallara and Maranellos tunnel.

Seemingly the problem with Ferarris tunnel is all down to the upgrade it had in 2008 where they had to make room for a road running beside it so they put the return tube angled at 60 degreese in the air when doing a little refub in the Maranello plant.

Heres a pic of the Ferarri Tunnel #1:


Due to the way the F1 rules are structured, this is the dedicated one at Maranello that Ferarri can use, even tho they have another 2 on site, another 60% scale tunnel that is badly out of date {comparitivly) to 2006 specs and a 50% tunnel that is to 2004/2005 specs that have bothe been mothballed or are used by their GT3 teams or by their road car department for testing as those other 2 are better than up to date for their purposes.

[bot6]

That can't be a full size tunnel. The section seems way too small... And the loop way too short to have any kind of stable airflow in there.

[Tim.Wright]

Its not a good perspective but its a big tunnel. Compare it to the size of the car in the background.

Maybe an image with some people in it will help perspective.

To aid speed in spotting, there's someone cutting the grass in bottom left

No, he's walking a dog. A Canary Island Mastiff I believe.
