Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H Development thread.

no, its what they have done already. Ferrari may be going back to old set-up for this weekend.

so it's NOT really a "new" suspension per say....they are reverting back to an older one that worked better????? then WHY are the articles saying they're getting a NEW IMPROVED suspension if it's in fact an older spec

[f300v10]

New rear bodywork and possible slight change to rear suspension. Canada on left, Monaco on right. The side pod exist is several inches shorter, and has a downward slope:

[MAD_Junior]

Completely correct, Renault are nowhere. RB have done well on aero tracks. If they can do the same in Canada only then we should praise them.

If Renault are nowhere, then we are worse than nowhere. They were well behind us, and now we are chasing them and not Mercedes.

[alfaromeo]

If Red Bull ahead of Canada on the dry track then I will be surprised.

[FerrariF60]

^this.....i really hope that witht this turbo upgrade we're bringing here we REALLY put some pressure on Mercedes and NOT being the one's HUNTED down by RENAULT

[phsyklone]

Redbull can run even less wing than other teams like they did in china thats why they have alot of confidence in beating Ferrari so its going to be a tough battle and lets not exclude Force india and williams with their Merc PU.

Does this then mean we are going backwards in development, by putting on developments and not getting the desired results and we are not sure of our development route??

Don't think so. The suspension looks different then the one we started the season with. It can be seen on how the bodywork is cut out in different way.

I read somewhere that Mercedes, RBR, STR, and FI are probably the ones who run lower tyre pressure in the race..
Now I don't know all the fact etc, but I remember last year there were rumors that Ferrari did someting with the fuel flow limit, which gave them extra power.. And from one race on the other FIA was going to ban it and check for it..
There have been talks of this tyre pressure thing from the beginning of the season and each time they are delaying to deal with it..

Perhaps I am totally wrong, but why do other teams manage to get away with thing and we don't? Don't we loby enough with FIA like RBR and Merc?

[Fer12]

I believe they have modified the old cover to work with the new suspension layout. Hard to see such shabby work on an F1 car

[Nova]

Mabey we are getting away w/it..

[jragona]

There was a time, not too long ago when Ferrari would get away with many things. Since Jean Todt left, things have changed.

[Tony]

Sorry, my english is still not perfect. I will try to improve, I promise :)

He wasn't referring to you fratello, but a post above yours :)

[mardyrt]

By looking at the Practice, from video, our car looks better than it has done for a while. It looks more planted than before.

On another note, this Croft guy on SkyF1 team is ripping Ferrari! They talk too negative toward Ferrari! Our uncle Sergio gave him too much ammunition by talking up our chances before the season started!

Ah okay! Thanks

[totox]

I have a doubt, if anyone know i apreciate the answer... What is the small "Z" logo ahead of the cockpit?

[jragona]

It's an 'N' not a 'Z'. It marks the spot where there is a button to put the car into neutral. It would be used by track marshals if the car was stuck in gear when they were trying to remove it during an incident.

Thank you mate!

Ferrari has changed the machine components for both their pilots:







..and Kimi got a new gearbox as regular replacement (after six races):

[S1000RR]

So we are under investigation by the FIA because of a flexible rear wing at high speeds.

[DelMar]

We are not under investigation. If FIA does not like the rear wing flexing, they will have address that with changing the tests.

They passed the tests but the regulations state that it is not allowed to use flexible parts on the car if it leads to an aero advantage , that''s what the FIA is investigating

Do we know if both drivers used their upgrades, or it was only Vettel? (turbo upgrate mostly)

Both had the updates.

A new MGU-H, TurboCharger and Control Electronics for each.
