Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

can this be true.....just might be hope for a fight this year

Bild newspaper said team chairman Niki Lauda accompanied Mercedes designers Andy Cowell and Aldo Costa to a trackside vantage point on Monday. "I wanted them to see just how fast the new Ferrari is going through the corners

Can´t figure out where's Ferrari's steering arm

Ehm "Comparison between Mcl and Ferrari blowing wheel nuts" you mean?

The front A arm and steering arm are wrapped together in a aero sleave. Should give cleaner airflow.

I was thinking the same but doesn't seem thick enough!

[Tim.Wright]

I believe that Mercedes and McLaren are also doing this on the rear too. Seems to be the fashionable thing in suspension design at the moment.

in the picture you can see the inside without the nut

Maybe he didn't. Whoever said testing wasn't exciting!

[Blackout]

Aligning or shrouding the steering arms ith one of the wishbones was a very classic and common design in a close past. Nothing new.

Seb/Kimi sitting height difference.



Inch or less...
Just like height difference beetween them.


And that's the same car that they are drivin'... right?



It will be better when SF15-T # 5 will be custom fitted for Vettel.

From what i find on the internet the height difference between the two guys is just 1cm. BTW the seats are usually adjusted so that every driver's head is at the same height, unless the driver himself prefers otherwise

The blue engine has more mid range power than the red engine...

Sorry, but this is not a valid argument. You can't compare a nissan gtr engine to an F1 V6t.

My friend, Internal combustion engines all operate on the same thermodynamic principles, F1 or 1400 VW.
As long as you compare apples to apples - midrange means mid range, engine A can have more power between 7000 and 9000 compared to engine B. this means engine A will pull stronger than engine B between 7000 and 8000 using the SAME ratio. yes it can be compensated for by gearing but that is not the argument. the argument is that the Ferrari PU lacked mid range power when compared to the Merc. Ferrari possibly compensated by using lower gearing with shorter ratio steps, resulting in a compromised top gear.

You are absolutely correct. It really is quite simple: I (really do) have two cars with nearly identical power-to-weight and very similar gearing; both have good tires and good traction. They are pretty even up to about 30-35; one outruns the other up to about 55-60; then the other pulls away. Conclusion pretty obvious, no? Approximately equal low end power; one superior in mid-range; the other superior at higher revs

1 cm? That can't be right. Even when they stand next to each other, Vettel is noticeably taller than Raikkonen. At least an inch taller.

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.

Looking at the picture i think there are some misunderstandings...

I can't see any major differences between Vettel's day1 and day2 car.... but anyway this doesn't have anything to do with the last year canada's "tigher package" as F14-T AND SF15-T cant be compared because of a totally different Pod shape (more general undercut on the whole line... as the f14-t got the external part almost vertical) and a more inclined Pod exit on the new car

Here are some proof pictures:
