Marussia MR03 Ferrari

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.

AFAIK, only MR03 has thermal censor on its monkeyseat..... could the hot gas touch it? also, is that the white coating for thermal protection ?

Marussia had a rather better day by the looks of things. Nice to see.

Great shot of the diagonal torsion bars, not seen anywhere else just yet. Is that a J damper? I'm really not sure.

I knew that but Mercedes had a history with McLaren, Mercedes was a major shareholder on the McLaren F1-team at one point. So that could be a contractual thing. It nearly always was the fastest mercedes powered car until last year (except for 2009), Mercedes did make a bid for advertising space on the nose of the Brawn GP car back in 2009 IIRC but they decided not to go for it.

Adopted the Ferrari is 18 kg to heavy and also the Sauber is overweight, it is just impossible that marussia achieved the min weight. I think the long wheelbase was a really bad idea.
