Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

[Crucial_Xtreme]

Very big front brake ducts on the Ferrari, not sure why?

Cracking detailed pictures, thanks for posting. =D>

most likely just for reliability during testing. i'm sure they'll bring correct sized ducts for the races.

No, they're the correct size when the team run the blown front axle's.

I am big Ferrari fan BUT look at the rear of the car. Bodywork is so much more open around exhaust then RB and Merceres. Even Ferrari FW looks much more simple. I don´t think Ferrari has enough downforce.

Seems to me that Ferrari still have good scope to get the bodywork tighter around the exhaust. Obviously there's cooling to consider but Sauber already seem to have gone down that route without issue.

Given their reasonable showing in testing, it's quite encouraging to see this kind of opportunity as yet untapped. Unlike most things we look at on these cars, shrink-wrapping that rear bodywork is a pretty standard move across the teams.

Also the fact that another engine upgrade - which they wouldn't do unless significant- is scheduled for Spain is encouraging, I'd say.

BIRDSTRIKE!

What happened with the rear wing???

[Lorenzo_Bandini]

It was during Vettel race simulation of sunday.. It was a bird who cause that..

Hopefully for them it was during testing.. Imagine that during a race.. it's a DNF.. Because of a bird

It looks like Kimi's helmet

I'm currently working on drawings of the wing, so I'm having my nose deep into its details - and it has lots of them.

Ferrari have dropped their overall wing philosophy in favor of a more Mercedes-alike one. However, what they did not drop is how they shape their elements in complex shapes. With most other teams I've found that they tent to use a seperate part of bodywork for sudden and drastic changes in the 3 dimensional shape surface. Ferrari however tries more to keep things within the same part. For instance their main plane is truly a masterpiece. Other teams usually connect seperate elements to the neutral section and stack them there. Ferrari however molded those into one piece, with a slot inbetween, and has a very complex shape close to the neutral section. I think they want to create spanwise flow at that region.

Not sure if they are the first to do that? I think Sauber's FW near the neutral section has the same overall shape but is even more complex than Ferrari's? I think Ferrari's should be more effective though, judging from the strength of their budget.




I'll wait till the article to see what you are referring to though. Could be you are seeing and understanding something I don't

Ferrari FW and aerowork looks simple compared to Mercedes and RB. Main plane consist of 4 element total. Look att RE frontwing. Their mainplane consist of 5-6 elements.
