Ferrari F14T

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.

In addition to the new endplate, the outer edge of the FW mainplane has a new countour, with a less extreme 'upkick':

Someone know if they were using the new package or the old one during FP2?

they used new package in FP2, for sure rear wing with single pylon. i think updates effect has been masked by pu defficiency. too much power while coming out of slow corners is masking real gains from upgrade.

Accordin to Skysports, Ferrari retained in FP2 only the modified RW. It was run on both cars in FP2 after Kimi used in in FP1 too. The new FW was used by Alonso in FP1, but it was not retained for FP2.

"Ferrari
Confronted with a vast performance deficiency to Mercedes over the first four races, Ferrari have arrived in Barcelona with a raft of new changes bolted on to their cars. Fernando Alonso's F14 T ran a new front-wing unit during Practice One, while Kimi Raikkonen's car carried a tweaked rear-wing as the team ran comparison tests on their new configurations. Alonso then ran the new-look rear-wing in Practice Two.

Raikkonen's Ferrari also used a revised, larger exhaust on Friday, with the Finn seated lower down in the cockpit following his early-season struggles to get to grips with a car that hasn't always obeyed orders in 2014."

The car looks horrible to drive, mainly power oversteer. I was quite frankly astonished how competitive their lap times are considering the amount of correction the drivers have to do. Perhaps this is a good sign if the problems have a reasonably quick solution.

Alonso using the new rear wing, old front wing in FP2. He said the tire compounds brought are to hard, giving low grip:
