Ferrari F14T

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.

You're almost certainly seeing the hub in a partially built state – an engineer will have the wiring laid out so that he can connect up all the sensors. Once he's done, they'll all have a place under other components to be tidied away and tightened up.

I think you're right. The fibreless picture must be before.

Rear wing details, the Gurney flap is larger than I thought:

Some think it is a pressure measurement block or collection point.

On sky ted kravitz is saying the rear wing main plane is new, as well as new nose cameras, with better aero effect.

From this gear comparison, Ferrari is geared much shorter than all other top teams. They might be facing a top speed / DRS / slipstream problem that can make it difficult to overtake, and even more difficult to defend; if not already in Bahrain, then in China. Last year's top speed in China were about 320Km/h. This year more than 330 is to be expected. To be at 330Km/h in 8th gear, the Ferraris need to hit, and sustain, 12200 RPM, and about 12600 at 340. Not sure the engine will like that.

Alonso stated car was losing power in Q3, in the post-qualifying Sky F1 Coverage.

He said he wasn't sure whether it was due to the floor or electrics

Whats the source of this comparison?

Ferrari doesn't even have a 8th gear in this, as most other teams... apart from McLaren... :roll:

Also optimistic to have Redbulls 7th Gear to go up to 370, whereas they already are using 8th gear in Bahrain at about 310km/h.
