Interesting brakes. If I remember right Ferrari SF-15 have similar layout???
It would be interesting to compare. Any pictures of Ferrari brakes?

And 4% of 120kW is almost 5kW of heat. Not trivial.
Not sure ... but I don't like how they weld the hot air inlet pipe to the cold air outlet pipe. I think they should separate them and even insulate the cold air outlet with aerogel wrap.Alexgtt wrote:OK, things coming thick and fast to this car now. Very nicely integrated S-duct set up.
Anyone know if that's a different intercooler from Aus?
Am I right in thinking the other shot is a chargecooler? Would they use both?

Cant confirm that whit anything just what i read there
I'm not sure what the point of a blown (blowing outward, as it seems to be inferred) rear axle would be. If anything, I've though they'd want to 'suck' the air and direct inwards/rearwards to aid the diffuser seal.michl420 wrote:I don't think there's a blown rear axle. Every axle looks like that when it's not fully assembled.
awesome, great photos by amus
He hasn't used a 2nd 1 yet. He'll have to if he wants the car to move.3jawchuck wrote:http://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/ ... nt_-_3.pdf
Am I right in seeing that Alonso is still on his first PU elements? But I thought a driver shared his engines with his stand in? How can he not need anything new after Magnussen's failure last race?
can't they re-use and old engine which has been 'revised' ?diffuser wrote:He hasn't used a 2nd 1 yet. He'll have to if he wants the car to move.3jawchuck wrote:http://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/ ... nt_-_3.pdf
