    So Haas was the first team to reveal its online launch of the 2018 challenger
    Looks so much better without the stupid shark wing
    So 2023 started off bad, but managed to claw back some lap time come end of the year. Lets hope SF24 will give us tifosi something to smile about.

    Found it amazing how little communication there was between Honda and McLaren the whole project looked terribly run makes me think that it wasn't all Honda's fault

    Yeah guess Honda underestimated the herculean task to produce a competitive PU in a modern F1.

    Looks like last years Ferrari especially around the sidepods!

    The car does not look like much of an evolution but we all know that these are not the cars we will see in Melbourne. Hope there will be some radical new designs which pop up this year!

    Ferrari will obviously be very thin at the back.

    I think the HAAS overall looks awesome! Heaps of development around the sidepods and front wing. Ferrari ferrari-inspired sidepods.

    Are we worried about Sassi ending up at Mercedes? I’m disappointed! We keep dispensing our talent to Mercedes for little mistakes. Okay he couldn’t bring the big development planned late last year, but he did bring us that engine to begin with - which is the closest we’ve been! We need to nurture and respect our talent, not abandon it at the first sign of trouble.

    Also, I’m starting to get reeeeaaaaally nervous about our car launch. It makes sense that the SF70-H was developed throughout 2015 during the HAAS wind tunnel loophole... a lot has changed since then. Can we keep pace?

    How is this possible that Sassi work at Mercedes 2018 if they go from Ferrari 2017.

    Not sure if this is Williams official car but it looks to have copied Ferrari's sidepod air inlets as well. Guess we'll be seeing quite a lot of cars looking like the SF70H.

    I wonder if it has something to do with Arrivabene's actions on trying to promote younger engineers and employees and encouraging them to be more involved and explore fresh ideas and push limits? Maybe some of the old guard are getting their backs up as their ideas and positions are being challenged. Seems Ferrari have found a replacement for Sassi quite quickly and they've come up with some new ideas already.


    The reliability of the power units will be under even more scrutiny this season with the engine limit being reduced from four to three before grid penalties start coming into effect.

    Ferrari's season unravelled partly due to reliability issues, but it appears the Scuderia have been learning from their mistakes.

    Autosport believe Ferrari engine boss Corrado Iotti has been overseeing the development of a new cylinder head which will be rolled out later in the season without an alloy steel piston concept which was going to be introduced by ex-Ferrari chief Lorenzo Sassi.

    Summary of 2018 regulation changes by Scarb



    The number of power unit limits is getting ridiculous.

    I think Ferrari was on to something last year with there aero package. its a shame we had the troubles we did and could not exploit it. I think most of the cars on the grid will look like Ferrari's this season. Look at the over head shot of the new Hass. I know we have a technical partnership, but its the exact same as SF70H. The best part is, the boys over at SKY wont give Ferrari any credit for the concepts.

    Hey that's unfair! The rear view mirrors on that Haas look nothing like the Ferrari.

    Mercedes "cape" under the S-duct. SF70-H side-pods. T-wing at the back. More aggressive rear diffuser. All the makings of a mid-field contender given the PU too. Can't say that about their drivers.....well....at least one of them.

    came across this gents for the W09....it's a possibility and another innovation from the "uber" F1 camp. Speculation only.

    Another take on what may be under the @MercedesAMGF1 #W09 raised exhaust pipe, inspired by comments from @ScarbsTech and @f1technical forum member Jolle: A raised, conjoined rear upper wishbone.

    It's already clear from the new launches that there will be many cars that will copy last year's sidepod design. Ferrari will need to pull something out of the bag to have any chance of competing against Mercedes.

    Renault Sport F1 are the first one's to arrive (02-16-18) at the Circuit de Catalunya to prep for practice. I'm sure more trucks are on the way.

    I just want to add something. Everyone is talking about reliability. We have 3 engines, which is about 7 races per engine. Maybe its better to sacrifice one race, get 1 engine, which will reduce about 2 races per engine, this can be a much more powerful engine, which will give us a better chance to win.
    Even the race we sacrifice, we can do it in a place where its easy to overtake. Look at last year, when Hamilton just finished on the podium in Brazil after starting in the pitlane! If we have a powerful engine, then we can really take the fight to mercedes. Engine can last 5, not 7, then take 1 more engine! Sacrifice 1 race. I would do this in our situation at Ferrari.

    Exactly, I thought about it too, I wonder if Ferrari took such a possibility into consideration, it could turn out to be our ace from the sleeve...
