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.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

So, could it be, that after all those rumors, Haas is actually SF-15T-b?

Or they use the same wheel supplier....

OZ supplied Ferrari, Red Bull and Lotus last season, the wheels being very similar or the same on all three cars.

That's my guess as well. They look new to me. I don't think I've seen rims like that on any of the cars on the grid.

Very similar to SF15-T but not identical, appears to be Haas manufactured copy.

That Haas wheel is completely different from the Ferrari wheel

For starters it has 2 lines of spokes in comparison to 1 line with all other f1 wheels

Y-spoke. Like the Ferrari.

Slightly different (increased) profile in the opening, but otherwise this is identical.

If the wheels were OZ, they would've had the logo on them, right? But no, they have Haas logo

The patterns around the center of the rim at haas are triangular while ferrari has a more like crown shape.

Look at the spokes again, the Haas spokes are hollow.

Ferrari's are hollow too, but not so much... I would say Ferrari have more like holes and Haas get a bit more aggressive...
