Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

[turbof1]

I just noticed now how different they have mounted the horns on the car compared to other teams. Interesting.

I also mentioned that a few days back:

Seems Ferrari are going very extreme with the camera pods. They uses the full maximum allowed space:

If you look at my drawing, Ferrari very probably used the maximum allowed space represented by the blue surface. Notice that technical regulations article 20.3.4, which the illustration graphically represents, does not mention a maximum limit from the car centre line. The aerodynamic shape of the camera housing is exempt from the normal bodywork rules. Theoritically, you can do whatever you want with the camera housing within the limits of the camera pod and housing regulations. By that I mean within the dimensional limits of 20.3.4, and the angle limits described in 20.3.3. You still have a lot of freedom within those boundaries.

i dunno where you guys are getting your pictures, so i couldn't find a larger version of this, or better.
but does the rear section of the sidepods seem a little tighter? i.e the coke bottle.

you mean bigger like this ?

well thank you

now that i've gotten a closer look at it, it seems that's the same sidepod as yesterday. so not tighter. yet.

But yesterday's, I was told, was tighter than Sunday - I.e. It was akin to what they ran in Canada practice last year.

Would love to see a comparison if someone can do one

The shot the was suposedly the tighter bodywork is this one. The exit around the engine exhaust appears slightly smaller, but I'm not sure if it really is, or is just the camera angle. I have yet to find a shot from the rear that shows a smaller exit, so either they didn't run it for long on Monday, or it isn't really smaller.

I don't think that they ran a different (tighter) bodywork at this test. I't just different angles.

The sidepods are shaped up top like last year so I'd speculate they are running similar exhaust headers.

Scarbs posted on twitter that he had seen the Ferrari PU, and the exhaust headers did not wrap around the cylinder heads. Here are the posts:

"I've spied the ferrari engine package, the turbo is still at the back of the motor and they may have resited the W2A intercooler"

"Also no exhausts curled up over the ferrari engine too. So that's changed as well, altho I didn't see the actual pipes"

Do running in colder temps and conditions helps the engine to get more BHP or do they need hot conditions to get the right impression ??

umm dumb question maybe. what does "resited" mean? i didn't find that in the dictionary.

hot, cold, humid or dry air doesn't matter for turbo engines almost at all. the engines can be adjusted to any climate with minimal performance difference.

may be scarbs meant Resisted and thanks for the answer

Thanks for that post. But if he didn't see it, and I didn't see it, we'll have to wait to see how it really is.

resited ... re-sited, probably meaning relocated.

Ferrari yesterday run 2 bodyworks. That i m 100%.


Only major difference between this 2 is shape of engine cover around exhaoust exit. The "tight" solution is conceptually exact the same like lastyears "Canada" spec.

Could be more differences that i missed.

Sadly i write this from phone so i coudnt post the pictures to support my claims.
