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.

New suspension is a fact, but the Byrne and mistake piece is gossip.

I totally agree! =D> Byrne is or was just a consultant.
And how is possible to test a 2015 rear suspension on a car, with for sure a totally different chassis, mass distribution and probably a different front suspension? :twisted:

This link http://www.omnicorse.it/magazine/43286/ ... ovata-kimi on omnicourse said the suspension was only tried in FP....."The Ferrari entrusted the revised rear suspension (pictured Effe 1 tech ) to Kimi Raikkonen : It was the Finnish driver to test the different kinematics in the free practice"

I was looking around at pictures of the old rear suspension and the new to compare and see the differences. Well... I could find any visual differences till I came across this at blogf1.it ...

Looks nothing more than Kimi's suspension having more compression to me...

Its just a rumor that this is a correction of some design issue, its much more likely that their now trying to tailor the car more to Kimi's liking.

Excuse me, but what are the differences? It looks like Kimi's is a little bit more angled, but it might be just different pitching of a car or different perspective.

My understanding was the suspension was more adjustable. Not sure where I read that but I spent all weekend in Austin.

Once again seems like a complete lack of developments throughout the season, aerodynamically anyway.
