Ferrari F14T

I my opinion its to obvious that Ferrari use the "Renault" airbox behind engine towards compressor turbine.

So no split turbo here, very little chance that Tobias was right.

What's that black box below the exhaust manifold?

You are right, rumors say that the MGU-H is under the turbo

There is a shaft connecting the turbine and the compressor on both solutions, since the MGU-H has to be mechanically connected to the turbo, why can't be on the turbine side of it? Has to be directly on the compressor? Can't be to the shaft in between the compressor and the turbine?

Has anyone heard/read any news about updates and performance improvements for Malaysia?

Only thing I've seen is the rumored software update for Bahrain...

Omnicorse ran a story blaming FIA for something related to ERS in F14T - http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/35940/ ... -della-fia

I couldn't get all the details, so if someone with fluent Italian can translate the most important bits, I think everyone will appreciate it.

FIA messed up with their remote "lanch mode" flagging system, which leaves the cars with no mgu-k before the 100km/h limit (on a side note, I didn't know that such system existed at all). Ferrari's PU have all been affected by this "bug", forcing pilots to do a lot of manual work on their wheels to get the missing power back (just like Alonso stated after the race). The problem was fixed after the first pit stop.

omnicorse is also urging ferrari to do a formal protest and not let it pass by just like they did until now. They are saying that had it been Red Bull, the FIA wouldn't have been let off the hook so easily. They are also certain that the ferraris would have been on podium had it not been this issue

Leo Turrini reports that a few heads (responsible for the hybrid engine) at Ferrari rolled down today.

(edit= sorry for not being on topic about the car, feel free to move/delete the post)

From omnicorse:

Ferrari says their PU is not overweight. Ferrari voted against 10kg minimum weight increase.
Ferrari will not use the metal ring around the turbo as their lighter solution was approved by FIA.

According to ferrari no head rolled down but there was only a redistribution of duties and responsibilities.
A soft way to confirm the rumors I would say...
probably none was really fired.
A young engineer named enrico gualtieri has been given more responsibilities. He used to work in the reliability team

- engine weight - fine, it took them a while to clarify it and Amus was wrong.
- turbo cover - same, I don't think it's the end of it but we'll see. Innovative means no heavy cover but what instead?
- what about overall overweight situation, no clarification on that? (or if engine was rumoured/responsible the same applies)
