Pirelli has completed its first two day test session evaluating 2017 specification wet weather tyres at Fiorano. Sebastian Vettel drove yesterday and today it was the turn of Esteban Gutierrez to get behind the wheel of the SF15-T.
Ok, think I see what you mean. Thought it was a shadow since I couldn't see on another pic.Just_a_fan wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Co8r-hrWcAA0Ia0.jpg:largef1316 wrote: I don't see the skirts on the Red Bull - where are you seeing them?
The skirts are not touching the ground like the Ferrari ones did but they are visible here as a curtain from the floor. Beam wing also visible.
In the rear vies, RedBull have added a much large additional flap on the diffuser to replace the usual little version they all run these days.
Amazing how little a modifield RB11 and a current RB12 differs. I can visually only make out the raised cockpit sides on RB12 (obviously ignoring the beam wing, skirts and diffuser changes). 2017 will be epic with these tyres though! Let's just hope the testing brings us a good race tyre!

However they've added a very large Beam wing to the Monkey seat to simulate the wider rear wing for next year.bhall II wrote:Given the manner in which each team has chosen to simulate 2017 downforce levels, the aero gap between Ferrari and Red Bull is clearly massive.
Ferrari showed up with a barn door attached to the back of its car; Red Bull runs less wing.

A little late but WaikeCU asked for 2016 Spec, not 2017.Nathanael F1 wrote:Won't 2017 cars have lower rear wings? I should think the only thing legal about this is the width at the top section.Thunders wrote:No it is not. Well maybe the height but that would be about it.

He is hoping to have a car with much more rear downforce, right?TAG wrote:Vettel has decided to name next year's car Kim Kardashian.

Yes they will.Godius wrote:Regarding the front wings, do you think are they going to stay with the outwash philosophy? It kind of looks like it is going to be more difficult to achieve on the 2017 spec cars because of the wider tires.
The front wing is becoming wider as well with 1.8m compared to 1.65m nowGodius wrote:Regarding the front wings, do you think are they going to stay with the outwash philosophy? It kind of looks like it is going to be more difficult to achieve on the 2017 spec cars because of the wider tires.
Strange indeed, never saw doing that before.Just_a_fan wrote:They appear to be directional tyres but they aren't mounted directionally. Strange.atlantis wrote:

Different treads on the tires between left and right?!
Prob just a system check lap on some left over tires. Guess the prototypes are so rare, for non-testing/data laps (on low speed) anything will doatlantis wrote:Strange indeed, never saw doing that before.Just_a_fan wrote:They appear to be directional tyres but they aren't mounted directionally.
