Merely two days before the start of winter testing at Jerez, Scuderia Ferrari has unveiled its new car online, displaying a clear evolution of its predecessor while featuring a long and pointy nose.

Here goes the translation of the main titles (sorry, tired eyes, can't read most of the article)f1316 wrote:Obviously not able to google translate the image so any kind of synopsis anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
hope the front wing will be nice that 2014

BRAKING AND ERS - The Maranello team would in fact commissioned company based in Graz building a dynamic simulation platform on which to test the entire car, that is, the engine, transmission and chassis, beginning with the electronic brake "brake by wire "connected to the energy recovery of the electric motor Ers, who did so much to suffer last year Kimi Raikkonen on F14 T and (apparently) also Sebastian Vettel on Red Bull. It is the last frontier of the simulation in F1, which integrates what until yesterday was happening on the classic virtual simulators like the "Spider" in Maranello, on engine test stands and on test benches for the suspension, moved by mechanical actuators. In practice, on mobile platforms provided by AVL, the car runs on rollers, by simulating the dynamic behavior up to speeds of 360 km/h, much higher then those that are reached in the industry for the tests on the car of the series.
PILOT ROBOT - The new structure created in Maranello, placed in a special building along a hundred meters, would cost over 40 million Euros and is powered by an electric generator autonomous. Inside, the car seems to be driven by the pilot or physically attached to another simulator that works in parallel, acquiring data and making findings, especially useful for the definition of structures and strategies. It's just that, in fact, the area where the Mercedes would have made the greatest progress, compared to traditional simulators used to this day by all the other teams. On dynamic platform is also possible to simulate the effect of the wind, but only for the purpose of cooling and direct flows to the engine, without the possibility to do calculations on the pressure and the load, because otherwise you would end up violating the restrictions on aerodynamic research in gallery wind laid down in Regulation. Just this suspicion last year was at the center of a small "spy story" starring the Red Bull. Remember the anonymous letter arrived at the FIA and the other teams, in which he accused the Anglo-Austrian team had spun his car on a roller. It was a Toro Rosso and the test had occurred just in Graz, on a platform of AVL, at the turn of the last pre-season testing in Bahrain and the first race in Melbourne, when the engines Renault continued to stop. The importance of that test was not indifferent, if it is true then that Daniel Ricciardo Australia finished second with Red Bull, before being demoted to an irregularity on the flowmeter. Today we understand better what he was doing the team of Milton Keynes in that of Graz. The Ferrari can now do it at home.
surceSIMULATOR 2 - It is no secret that in 2014 the Red had a too cautious approach to the technical challenge of the 1600 cc V6 turbo hybrid, what probably cost him the place to Luca Marmorini. From here on, we must be more daring, if you want to reduce the gap by a Mercedes that already traveling over 900 horses. The task for the group led by Lorenzo Sassi. And the agreement with AVL is also explained well. Not the only, big news. In Maranello seems to have now decided to abandon the "Spider" to switch to a new simulator of the latest generation, different hardware, software, and perhaps also in form, with a cell compact, almost a playstation, like those of McLaren and Red Bull. It is no coincidence that among the many technicians engaged in the short course of Marco Mattiacci there are Ben Ferrey, former head of the simulator Red Bull, and Christopher Laws and Ashley Warne, former McLaren. Similarly, instead of Pedro de la Rosa who was busy to develop it in the last two years, came Jean-Eric Vergne, just a former Toro Rosso. Will all this turmoil to have convinced Sebastian Vettel to take the challenge in red? Who knows. Meanwhile, waiting to be unveiled later this month, the new red already runs on the rollers...
