Ferrari Technical Detail

Hi antrock, glad to meet you. Welcome to the forum.
I also picked up those winglets being tested at Silverstone. I doubt if they are very serious about them, most of the testing did not include them.
One slight change is the addition of an air hole on the very tip of the nose. Many teams have used that position, but Ferrari never had a hole there, until now.

They have it since Canada.
But now it looks sort of different

it was dark and now there's a bit of white...

Is this a picture from Silverstone testing as well? Because in this picture the F2007 doesn't have the "ears".
FIAT has returned after lending it's spot to Case IH for the North American races.

And no, I believe the nose is "normal" still, maybe it looks different because of the angle the photograph was taken from. Maybe getting a clearer look from different angles will help out.

yes it is the photo from today's practice!

i guess they tried it without the ears aswell

is it just me or they changed the color (again) ?

i think you are right, it does appear to be brighter red again - maybe the traditional red brought them bad luck as it did in early 90s

I am going to do a copy-paste from the topic Ferrari F2007 of the other forum (General), as I didn't know this one here about it:

Some updates in our car!

As you can see:

-New small winglets in front of the cockpit
-New "plates" (I don't know how to call them), or radial "things" for the front wheels, with a curved form
-Thinner arms in the mirrors
-Also thinner or at least more straight end part of the top element from the front wing
-Curved down part of the front down wing that nearly touches the other part.

Ferrari should hire an astrologist or some one involved in black magic. In that way they can sort their problems out. The colour scheme did not help, black magic and perhaps voodoo might help lol...

All Todt need to do is to get a voodoo doll sorted for the leading driver and hold his hand tight during a corner so that he crashes. This would give lead to Ferrari as a result. The next thing would be each team boss holding a voodoo doll each and pulling each others legs and god knows what lol... Sorry just being stupid that all

P.S: I'm sorry, but what does "back to high DF" mean? (HD?)

I hope it will go slower so the BMW´s can overtake them

Just joking

I was surprised because ferrari didn´t adopt the ears when allmost everyone else did, anyway we´ll see how they go in France

edit: wings on the brakeintakes, were those there before?
