A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I have heard the new car will use the new engine.

Interesting regarding the Ferrari gearbox. Didn't the team use a McLaren one last year?

After seeing the initial sketch-ups of the 2015 Ferrari, there is not much reason why it wont fit the current chassis with minimum modifications.

2015 PU can't fit on the 2014 chassis because of the 2015 oil tank which is placed in front of the 2015 engine...
2014 gearbox would fit IMO but 2015 gear box wont fit on the 2014 PU IMO.
Marussia used the same Ferrari gear box in 2014 obviously.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression they would launch their "real" 2015 car sometime during this season. That's when they'll run the 2015 Ferrari PU.

Here's the run list for the development of a rear wing for 2015 on the 2014 car. The full test was estimated to take 25 hours.

Thanks for the information, kind stranger.

I notice they call it the "monkey wing" lol

Looks like very specific precautions in each test.

Time for a teaser: what could be possibly be attached, but hidden, to this piece of bodywork?

at first I thought that could be central section of front wing, but after comparing to your previous work it is just too short and too thick.

My next guess would be front camera mount or one of those winglets around mirrors and side pod leading edge.

Camera mounts?
Unless it's an "hidden" piece of bodywork...

that must be forward innermost part of cascade on front wing? That endplate still has one more element connecting on it on the car though. Other guess would be mirror mount, but it doesn't really look like it.
