Not official. Santander did a huge mistake as Ferrari did not intend to reveal the name yet. Maybe that will be the actual name, but they have not confirmed yet.

Nice Renders but the cameras in the nose can't have stalks anymore....

What's going on at Fiorano? I know that Pirelli testing is next week, and apparently Seb tested a revolutionary visor (credit to Gianlu D'Alessandro) but there is also Kimi and Gio?

EDIT:

IT was for correlation testing

IMHO This would be the best looking car ever!

At this point, Sean Bull has opened himself to criticism. If you're going to produce that much free work it's fair game to tell you the truth.

There is a reason you dont have a job in F1 SB and lots of free time to put out content that isnt impressive...

IMHO, yellow doesn't go well with white.

New article on f1analisitecnica (http://www.f1analisitecnica.com/2017/02 ... do-il.html) today, with some bad new rumors for Ferrari supporters:

- Ferrari's engineers aren't satisfied with data coming from wind tunnel and simulators
- Project started by Allison has been quickly finished by Byrne in order to do not arrive unprepared to first 8 test days
- Some changes that are in project are so big that it is possible to have a B-spec car at european GPs
- Longer wheelbase rumors should be tied with B-spec car
- B-spec car is already in wind tunnel by some weeks
- Main changes should be done to car rear zone and other changes will be done in order to gain more downforce that in A-spec is considered "very low"
- In order to limit lost laptime Ferrari's engineers are "squeezing" hp from PU on benches

- Gap from W08 and new Ferrari car should be bigger than the one between W07 and SF-17H at the end of the season



Hard time to be a Tifoso right now

Edit: I expected a year like that after all structure reshuffle, but it's always a little hard to read those rumors. Usually rumors from f1analisitecnica are quite on the mark

Quite a sad story if already the Italian(!) engineers are telling that the windtunnel results are dissapointing...
And are they talking about Rory Byrne?

[Afterburner]

The timing choosed to give this news it's a bit suspicious, for me it seems Ferrari wants to downplay their chances because every year it's the same pressure to deliver a winning car.

And then, how can they know if the wind tunnel results are bad if they don't have a reliable benchmark yet?

It's very odd to me.
