Ferrari F10

[siskue2005]

If Alonso can keep it off the wall, the F10's tire management might result in a podium. Ferrari's brakes are usually up to the task as well. Funny, with (apparently) minimal development, the car is still competitive. Maybe it was a very good initial design, but without much upside(?)

Here's hoping Massa's contract gives him the emotional lift to push Alonso.

its actually the track requirement

here we only need low d/f....the ferrari car lacks d/f.....so in a way the track masks their problem .......they will go back in d/f demanding circuits, like they did int urkey

did anyone hear on the BBC coverage of the qually, they said that in that new package ferrari is getting in valencia, among other things they will have the red bull type exhaust, low and back so it pushes the air in the diffuser...

Yeah that's remarkable. I thought it was Brundle who said that Ferrari would run a blown rear diffuser and similar exhaust like the RB in Valencia. McLaren would have that at Silverstone he said.

Does anyone know more about that?

hi guys.
i have 2 gestion:
1.does anyone can predict how much ferrari F10B will be fast?
i think it will be 1 second faster than current car.
2.againg does anyone know how much ferrari spend time and resource on F10B.
i think ferrai developed it at the early part of winter testing,when somebody suggested F10 isnt fast enough.and that time james allen suggested that ferrari work on an a new diffuser that i think it will be a part of F10B.
this is my opinion,what is your opinion?

Going by the F10s pace in Montreal, if they could find 1 second, then they would wrap up the championship in a month! I think that it would be closer to 0.2 secs. The new diffuser will have exhausts going into it, similar to Red Bull. This speeds up the air going through the diffuser.I don't think that any work on a new diffuser owes anything to James Allen! They are just responding to Red Bull!

The team have said that the Canada car was effectively the same car that raced so badly in Turkey. The car seems to suit low DF tracks, it should go well at Monza but it may srtuggle through the high speed twistes.

Stefano Domenicali on autosport.com

"For sure there is a need for a more aggressive push," said Domenicali. "It was clear that we had concentrated too much effort on this blown rear wing - we spent a lot of effort there, being not focused on the other areas of the car.

From Valencia onwards the focus will be to develop other areas of the car apart from this blown rear wing, because it is a complicated system that took a lot of resources out of our team."

That's what I've been saying for weeks! They made the same mistake last year focussing to much on the KERS. It really looks like Ferrari has problems with the optimal use of their resources. Maybe this is the result of years being able to spend as much as they like with as many people as they like.

here's the same thing here...

finally some sense coming from ferrari...
i really hope they can turn things around from this point on...

but massa needs to push very hard if he wants to help the team...

Ferrari set for 'further 0.7secs boost:

[donskar]

7/10 of a second is probably being very optimistic. I'll be happy with 5/10 + a motivated Alonso. (I'm afraid a run at the front is too much to ask of Massa.)

[jason.parker.86]

According to reports, Ferrari have said the exhaust style exit is worth as much as 0.7s!?! I will be very interested in seeing the exhaust being modified by Macca, but remember RedBull saying the exhaust system was where the least gain was to be made?? So 0.7sec on the Exhausts, how much you think that suspension is worth? 0.9sec?!?!? Almost 1.6s between the two?

[De Jokke]

yes they did

Ferrari update ill only bring 3-4 tenths (is what I've read somewhere)
