Ferrari F10

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 think we must still wait, until the free Practice in Valencia begins.
Because with this unsharp Pics, they let us only guess where they exhaust are installed, they can be lower or higher... But after all this developing, this must help the Diffusor to work better and generate more pressure, make the car faster and better.

Do you think they would show off any new front end bits? Swapping front wings takes a few seconds whereas you can't change exhaust placement and sidepod design. Hopefully an updated front wing will debut in Valencia.

I really want these two cars challenging for wins (+ Kubica).

It is ironic that Ferrari's innovation for this year was to move the exhaust forwards and higher than everyone else; plus add the gills with hairline slit to make them comply with the regulations. Now they have to go to the opposite extreme to catch up with Red Bull's innovation.

I guess we all did, but you never know for sure what they might actually be doing. :)

But it's about time that they paid attention to the front wing. But if it ain't broken then don't fix it, right? :?

It seems that everyone has to go Red Bull's way.

I wonder how much F10's performance was affected by the enforcement of inboard mirrors.

do the sidepods look less sculpted maybe towards the rear end of the car...?
seems like the lines don't follow the curvature of the front of the sidepods... they become flat in a way... or maybe it' becouse of the angle...

From this blurry screen capture, it does look like the ones they launched the car with...rather than a new Front wing...

Wouldnt they need a new front that would balance the exhaust driven diffuser??

I wouldn't look too much into those pictures. First of all you can't really tell from those blurry pics and second of all they might just use the wings from the 'launch car'. It's just promotional stuff, not a test.

These are photos of the same car. Look at the mirrors!

He's speaking about this:

the sidepods look less curvy... maybe just an illusion.

Yes, you can actually see rear wheels at the bottom of the sidepods.
