Ferrari 2014 Car Pre-launch Speculation

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.

Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Triple nose could get simmetry again... I guess there will still be surprises

I'll welcome the correction but that nose looks sh*t if you want low drag, or air getting to the back of the car.

Nope.
Sub- optimal nose.
Plus they won't be able to achieve those tiny sidepods.

They could with different exhaust layout and air-to-water cooling, both are suspected... Even the inwash wing.But the car on the drawing has push-rod front, which isn't suspected...

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

The big Ferrari emblem on the nose looks good though..

Maybe we should sent pat fry back to mclaren, where he can also destroy things even more there
The pull rod front suspension hasn't been a problem for the last two years and it won't be one in 2014 if they decide to use it again this year. James Allison has clearly stated that Fry has been putting things in order for the last couple of years, updating Ferrari's old out of date way of doing things that now has Ferrari on equal terms with the best teams that will allow them to compete at the front of the grid. Fry has been good for the team & Allison will continue this.

We'll find out tomorrow what the F14 T looks like but whichever suspension they decide to use up front will not make or break their season.

It will be interesting if Lotus will release two more images with their car today, just to hijack Ferrari's presentation too.
