Sorry it seems already posted.... whatever it is very interesting indeed, nd its like the special floor design that we r talking in the Pre-Sepc thread........[.....ferrari is designing a new types of floor design with new types of floor materials]

Guys I just had a thought...why did they use GOLD tape??? gold reflects heat..so where does the heat come from? have they really found a way to deflect the exhaust downwards?

Yes. It's the big red thing that says Acer.

Yes. It's the big red thing that says Acer.

i know that the exhaust is in there...but its also pointing upwards by 10 degrees

Here is another pic:



It goes to the side of the diffuser. What the hell is this?

It's some wiring to some sensors at the rear. It's covered in gold to reflect heat to stop the wires melting.

yes...we already know that....the question is where does that heat comes from?

[bhall]

It comes from that red bit with the word Acer written on it.

Everything behind the exhausts gets cooked to a degree regardless of the angle in which they're pointed, and temporary wiring isn't exactly robust.

Sorry I misread. It's probably a might as well type of thing.

[scuderiafan]

It's a conspiracy and Ferrari actually have a loop-hole EBD octopus exhaust layour.

The tape could be just what was handy to use. There is no heat to actually worry about.

Could they be measuring the side wall temp?

"Reviewing the pics from the Jerez test, has anyone else noticed Ferrari floor in the coke bottle is thinner and shinier than other teams?"

So Ferrari using different material on the floor.

[Owen.C93]

Doesn't look like there's a core at least.

[shelly]

Agree with you owen. it would be nice to compare with some pictures form jerez lat year of the f150 to see. Surely ther could be similar light conditions and pictures at pit exit

[Hush]

There are so many new stuff on this Ferrari and everyday someone picks up on something else.

I just hope they get over the teathing problems really soon as to be competitive from the first race on.

Could be that area of diffuozor some heat source material which discarge termal energiy from engine? And a point that they could energise flow beneth an on the side of difuzor and eventualy seal it? Could be? But it is just a theory acording that pics is it!

I loooking foward to Barcelona test an envetually they (Ferrari) will reweal the truth about Rory masterpice of engineering...
