Scuderia Ferrari SF70H

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.

I know this is not what matters, but it (she) is the sexiest I have seem so far this year. Cokebottle shape looks really good.

they tyres melted, the car is too HOT.
(that's wrapping film I think, it not in the pits but in the stickering shop.)
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.

Hi everyone, I am a newcomer on this forum, as I needed to put my two cents about this red beast :)
To me the most striking feature of the sidepod intake configuration is the accomodation of the upper side impact structure. As far as my understanding of rules goes I can only figure it being integrated in the bottom of the intake, something like this :

Now, could this be compatible with the technical rules ? If I remember correctly side crash structures are standard, and position of upper and lower parts too. The only 2017 change I am aware of is that bumps on the bodywork to accomodate the upper structure are no longer allowed.
If this is right, then the SF70 would be the first car to get free of this "upper lateral crash structure needs to be part of the upper side of air intake" scheme, in order to have the maximum amount of air to "play" with.

I know it was just a dig at the Pirellis of the last few years...This is actually the first time for quite a while iv`e been optimistic about a Ferrari design, some of the areas (sidepod especially) look really well thought out with new ideas but also some practical things like the brake duct covers and suspension look sorted...

Can`t wait to see some action at Barca.

The upper crash structure is in plain sight. Its black and right under the turning vane as it joins the cockpit. Adjust your colour and you will see it. Ferrari have a habbit of designing exposed crazh structures.
For Sure!!

It's further back, starts at the start of the head protection.

What I would like to see, is a comparison of the F2008 and this!
Finally something new from Ferrari.

I really liked the sidepods, of course, and the much more "clean" front suspension.

It looks like Ferrari is continuing with the same sidepod shape they have used for a while. The other teams have gone to sort of a split profile like Red Bull did, where they look to direct flow on top around the side to the floor and under the cooling exit.

The front brake cooling inlets are rather large. Everyone else has tire hugging inlets. Maybe Ferrari harnesses less brake regeneration and requires more of the front brakes?
Honda!
