Me too. I'd much rather see the car called the 248T6 (do they still mount the 'box transversely these days?). I never liked the F(insert year here) naming system. It's generic and boring.Quote:

I'm Feeling A Little Verklempt … Talk Amongst Yourselves. ;(
Personally I don't care how innovative the car is...as long it's the fastest :p :
Yep, quite often those visually innovative cars are actually slow. Remember Mclaren from 95 with the middle wing. :DQuote:

I think Ferraris new car will be nearly as fast as Red Bulls or therabout, but the question I ask myself is if Alonso can beat Vettel even with an equal car.
The pilot that puts his car on the pole most often will win the WDC. IMHOQuote:

Hmmmmm, not necessarily so. Does a fast car in qually mean it heats the tyres up quicker? Does this mean it is tougher on tyre wear? If so, they'll get mugged in the race as the tyres degrade so fast.Quote:

I hope your right and the P's make that much difference, because if it wasn't for teammates taking each other out, and some mechanical failures, last season would have been really boring. Having the adjustable rear wing should be a wash, but I suppose that some teams could make a difference with superior KERS!Quote:

Anyone care to venture a guess what the little vent at the bottom of the rear crash structure is for? :confused:
The entire RCS is covered with heat-reactive stickers. That is for exhaust gas passing over it on the outside correct?
It previously looked like this. hmmmm! :idea: :mark:Quote:

No, I didn't miss that point, I just didn't believe that you need a tap on the shoulder for getting that one right! :pQuote:

IMO it's their pace and their strategy which are most worrying.Quote:

Any mixing between the two flow layers would create unwanted turbulence and ruin significantly diffuser efficiency .
As regards the sidepod panels , the vortex creator fin ( in yellow ,top picture ) is now gone .

It worths remembering that Ferrari also moved to floor revisions last year on the F10 before season started and that was the time that team added the fin on sidepod panels to generate vortexes towards the rear wheels to cut drag

Looks like this is the finnished product. I like the concept, just wonder if it is capable of putting a Beat-Down?

what a moron. it turns out Ferrari must do better.... I wonder why noone thought of that before :rolleyes:
No way, he's a genius, he brought 'six tenths' to Ferrari! :DQuote:

There's a calibration issue with Ferrari's wind tunnel, and the issue won't be resolved until September or October.
This only proves that they are a bunch of lazy bums. :pQuote:

Lazy bums, they were .5 seconds slower than the McLaren mechanics and lost Felipe a place he did fight hard for on the track.
The very first post really is hilarious, isn't it?Quote:

That said, you could hardly say that Alonso didn't drive a great race.
And then Massa goes and throws it off the road in turn 8. I suppose that was Ferrari's fault too?Quote:

There are posts in this thread that make my jaw drop.
There are posts in this thread that make me put my head in my hands.
