I'm really curious to see any updates on the car for this weekend.
here let me explain it for ya : )F1NAC wrote:One question. In article posted by GPR-A it says that because a new upgraded ICE, turbo can provide more boost but then there is nothing for MGU-H. Are there regulation regarding max. turbo pressure?
Ferrari has a new floor specifically both corners of the floor above the diffuser has a new element and the barge boards has a new shape.Fer.Fan wrote:You will not see any updates, because they are not bringing any.

Vettel was in Melbourne faster then Kimi, I assume he was runnign same turbo setting as Kimi did. So it was just luck that Vettel didn't have any problem with turbo?giantfan10 wrote:here let me explain it for ya : )F1NAC wrote:One question.

Ferrari is running a larger turbo which suffers from Turbo lag, to combat this Ferrari is using the MGU-H to spool up the turbo up ( basically anti lag) which uses battery power. Amus contends that Ferrari does not have enough battery power left to run the MGU-k at the end of long straights. He contends the easy fix is to just run the turbocharger at a higher RPM(still below the FIA mandated max rpm) which produces produces more electricity via the MGU-H and all is well BUUUT running the turbocharger at a higher rpm is what caused the failure of Kimis Turbo. He sites the new control electronics that both Ferraris recently got as evidence that they are actively managing the situation with additional sensors and so on.
He says that Ferrari have known about this issue since testing and raced with the issue in Australia.
The turbocharger will be upgraded before the Spanish grand prix when Ferrari planned on changing engines anyway.
He says a turbocharger takes 12 weeks to manufacture so that is why Ferrari are waiting until spain.

@titanofracing It's a general turbo problem. Need new parts.
2.Henry Kelsall @hennerzkelsall 14h14 hours ago
@tgruener @titanofracing So fixes for that in Spain would mean that is no longer an issue, and matching Merc is possible?
3.Tobi Grüner @tgruener 14h14 hours ago
@hennerzkelsall @titanofracing Correct.
This is specualtion by Amus at this point i have no idea if it is true... he may just be connecting dots that dont exist because Kimis turbo failed.armyk wrote:Vettel was in Melbourne faster then Kimi, I assume he was runnign same turbo setting as Kimi did.

WAT?giantfan10 wrote:pretty interesting that williams copied the Ferrari nose concept or did Ferrari copy williams from last year and just refined it?
Probably somewehere in between. Ferrari nose looks somewhat more refined than last year's Williams nose but WIlliams' new nose looks like a further refinement compared to the Ferrari nose.variante wrote: Maybe you mean: Ferrari copied last year Williams' nose; Williams has just refined the concept, therefore Ferrari is using a year old solution...
perhaps because you are looking in the technical section, go look in the ferrari team section for that type of chat .No posts for the SV DNS in Bahrain, no speculation, nothing!
The only thing that I can assume, is that Ferrari fans are completely disappointed.
