feast on the aero wings, winglets, vanes, etc. amazing.
Great to see something a bit different, plenty of winglets...

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...FrukostScones wrote:they tyres melted, the car is too HOT.Mattchu wrote:Dem front tyres look a little chewed upManoah2u wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5a5MSiWgAAGvvv.jpg

(that's wrapping film I think, it not in the pits but in the stickering shop.)
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.THRAK wrote: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.
It's further back, starts at the start of the head protection.THRAK wrote:Hi everyone, I am a newcomer on this forum, as I needed to put my two cents about this red beast
