FW very low to the ground even at slow speeds.
Note how cooling inlets for brakes are in different height when turn in.

Was thinking the same so did a quick version (not to scale!)tpe wrote: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.
Guess where RB got the idea?dren wrote: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.

Any attempt to get the tyres anywhere near the right size shows how much the length of the cars has grown though - if this is a short 2017 car, imagine the Mercedes vs. the 2008 cars!

Or more air for the blown front wheel hubs?dren wrote:It looks like Ferrari is continuing with the same sidepod shape they have used for a while.

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?
Thanks!turbof1 wrote:That is a very nice comparison =D> .f1316 wrote:Was thinking the same so did a quick version (not to scale!)tpe wrote:What I would like to see, is a comparison of the F2008 and this!

I guess the red isn't as 'flattering' to the detail; and yes, it does look a bit more integrated, unlike the Mercedes approach this year.bhall II wrote:Guess where RB got the idea?dren wrote:It looks like Ferrari is continuing with the same sidepod shape they have used for a while.

Yellow lines indicate nothing but contour
Ferrari still does it. It's just a bit more integrated....

At a certain point downstream, low pressure will pull the boundary layer in the direction you want it to go. All you have to do upstream--not that it's that easy--is coax flow in that direction.
I pondered a while, and then it struck me where I had seen these sidepods before...bucker wrote:Sidepod intakes look like Alfa Romeo Stelvio lights..
