well whatever it was is gone now, that's for sure

[poolboy67]

to me this is a no-brainer. this years car is going to be ugly and there won't be a whole lot changes done.
i would put my money on the fact that this car will be a minor evolution to last years car, and that the big things are going to be done for the 2016 car. this season ferrari should only try out different ideas, parts and concepts for 2016 and hope that while doing so, this years car would also be competitive.

the changes done to the team last year were so massive that it would be total waste to try and make the best car possible now. it's too much recources placed on a car that has been developed by a mishmash of different engineers, one continuing the work of another that got sacked. it's chaos. and chaos is absolute poison when trying to develope something as complex as an f1 car.

so i hope they'll just try out stuff this year, and are truly putting most of their time and recources into developing the 2016 car.

I found this on twitter wonder how much of this is true

100% agree, there is no sign to be hopeful. Only one, they can change more parts of the car and improve, its my only hope to see an improved car. But the rest is disheartning, there has no been continuaton in the development of this project.

Marca claims that the wind tunnel data is not "spetacular"

Good news, every year Marca claimed that Ferrari was building a new car with great results in the wind tunnel.

Marca claims that the wind tunnel data is not "spetacular"

could be because of the fact that when this news surfaced, the 2015 nose rules had just been finalized and ferrari had tested their first version of the 2015 nose. and since williams said that when they were developing the new nose, it caused a "headache". which ofc means it was a pain in the ass to design. so i'm not very surprised that ferrari also had a hard time designing the new nose.

i think instead of making an evolution version of last years nose, ferrari are going to try a new, more tapered shape. (allisons comments about it being prettier supports this)

to me these look like caps that go over the rollhoop when the antenna isn't on the car. i.e for photoshoots.
ferrari has always been super secretive about their new cars, prior to revealing them. so i don't think these would be anything important.

well. today it's mclaren. tomorrow it's ferrari. i'm really exited, but for the wrong reasons maybe? 'cause i know neither of them are going to be near the fastest cars... but i wanna see the new liveries can't wait.

EDIT: oh look i got a day ahead of myself haha. ofc i mean TOMORROW is mclaren and day after tomorrow is ferrari. too little sleep... or coffee... or both.

Cause you know that neither of them are going to be near the fastest cars. What a bizarre comment, would you care to back up that theory with with some hard evidence.

Parts of chassis seen at the very start of the video.

Chassis SF15-T



It's look like pull-rod

[Fede90]

I don't think so. the picture is unfocused, too hard to say

[ME4ME]

Looks again like a very steep, short nose. Vacuum cleaner 2.0-T ?

[wuzak]

That bar is in teh wrong position to be a pull-rod.

I would think that is part of the suspension arm.
