Ferrari 150° Italia

[HampusA]

I thought i might ask in this thread but does anyone remember Massas engine being tweaked differently in Singapore last year but since it wasn´t working they got rid of that idea.

Does anyone know what they might have been fiddling with? Just air/gas etc?

now that you say it, it was a developement for 2011!
Wonder what that is?

I thought they tried the engine map out in Q1 or something then scrapped the thing as it was causing problems.

Yea i think so to, his car stopped working so i guess that was the main reason for not using it.

If i remember correctly, didn´t the car sound differently aswell? More raw and not so fine tuned?

Deleted all the posts about the name. In case you missed them, the rad is the equivalent of "st, nd, rd, th". A page and half in the car thread is not required, and even frowned upon.

Interesting to note that the car appears to right at the top with performance despite not featuring any 'special' new things, like front blown diffuser through exhausts being forward, overly small back.
They appear to be focusing on good old mechanical layout and use of tyres, basic aero to extract best out of it, but no crazy features...

Hi, I can't find the thread about the team. I have something to say about the team, but not the car. Am I in the correct thread?

One picture of the updated car:

Compare:


What my untrained eyes can se:
- New floor
- modified sidepods (more heat shielding, new exhausts?)
- New front wing endplates
- New rear wing (smaller adjustable flap)

Is that from the Vairano test? I heard they were using up a straightline test already

Allegedly from Fiorano yesterday, straightline test, yes.

Front wing end plates are different.

Here we go, courtesy of autosprint this time:





Clearly a new front wing, rear wing, red bull style exhausts

[Ferraripilot]

How is the front wing all that different with the exception being the endplates being slightly different.

Not all that different, but modified endplates and a modified upper element. You can also see that it has different sidepod openings.

Red Bull style exhaust discharge by the look of it.
