Ferrari F14T

HovePeter - It's not even close, the Mclaren rear arm mounts to the crash structure in the middle of the rear wing.

They are what? Not that that gets through this year, all teams have to decide in favour, but if that does happen next year I'll quit watching F1. We had enough lobbying last year.

They were pressing, I think I read that in September and information was related to summer period, so more than half a year ago... And, most importantly, it was completely unofficial, like I said before... Obviously, they believe they sorted that now...

[Mr.G]

IMO even they say they need more fuel, they don't say for what total power. I mean, they set some goal and trying to achieve that, so figurative speaking they sets they're goal to 750hp and they need to have 110kg for that, but can do 720hp with 100kg. Is not that way they wont be able to finish the race...

Comparing or cooling that "copper" pipe?

Seems that they're feeding something thru that hole. It has a pipe attached

Two small holes here... maybe is just where some test equipment was bolted...

It looks like a temporary 'hack' to cool something that wasnt getting enough airflow. Most likely gone at the next test.

from AMuS:
"Das neue Kühlsystem von Ferrari scheint ja durchaus leistungsfähiger zu sein, haben die die Exklusivrechte bei dem Hersteller, oder können andere Teams ebenfalls auf das System setzen und somit ihre Kühlkästen verkleinern?"
---
"Wir wissen 100 prozentig, dass Ferrari letztes Jahr schon mit den innovativen Kühlern einer US-Firma gefahren ist. Die Konkurrenz nimmt an, dass dies auch in dieser Saison der Fall ist. Von Mercedes wissen wir, dass den Ingenieuren der Wechsel zu riskant war. Auch die meisten anderen Teams dürften wohl noch auf die herkömmlichen Kühlern setzen. Exklusivrechte gibt es unserer Info nach nicht. Die Technik der Kühler ist nur kompliziert und sehr teuer."

Question: Ferrari's new cooling system seems to be more efficient, do they have an exclusive deal with the manufacturer or could other teams use that system as well and tighten up their sidepods?

Answer: We know for sure that Ferrari used innovative radiators from a US manufacturer last year. The competing teams assume that they are using them this year also. We know that Mercedes engineers considered a change to be too high-risk. Most other teams probably use conventional radiators as well. There is no exclusive deal as far as we know. The technology behind those radiators is very complicated and expensive.

Jerez - Pre-season test 1- Day 4

[6 of 12]

It's definetly an inlet on top of the Ferrari Enginge Cover. That picture and the fact that the two other Ferrari-powered teams have an inlet there make it a reasonable conclusion.

in 2014 season.. no one knows! The cooling systems are very different this year compared to last year. If Ferrari had discovered something new in this area certainly wouldnt go to tell reporters!!

It's been bugging me these last few days, the F14T's nose reminded me of something, and this morning it fnally hit me:

Yes I must admit. Great pic.
