Ferrari F150 launch on January 28th

[Greig]

What's the penalty for racing with full on tobacco advertising? If it's just a fine shouldn't Ferrari and Marlboro just pay it and race with full Marlboro livery on? Screw the doc's. I don't smoke, but let people make up their own minds.

I imagine we would not be allowed to race, we could just find a new sponsor I guess it's not like Marlboro are anything to do with Ferrari, in fact I associate them more with McLaren.

[TheProdigalSon]

It looks so bulky and huge.....like one of those bulls in a bull fight..........Thank god this is just an artist's impression........all this bulk of the car will only add weight....and it might look very nice in pics but its performance will definitely be bad........and already we can see this is against regulations.....the wheel covers are not allowed REMEMBER??!!

Err you do realise this is the old car from like 2007/8. That's why it still has the hubcaps on the wheels. It's just the color scheme I like.

[Tifoso]

Tobacco ads are banned. I would imagine the penalty at the very least would be a race disqualification.

McLaren? how so?

[Rob]

they ran the red and white scheme with marlboro from 80s to 90s. Sorry cannt remember how long they ran that colour our sponsorship. Its 1 of the most iconic cars of late 80s early 90s.

would put picture up, but... not good plus just talking about "them" is bad enough

I just looked it up, yeah i remember reading about it,
Haven't they had a contract with West as well?

yeah thats right, 1997 (?) to early 2000s i think it was, thats pretty much where this chrome (silver) paint came from.

[Naeem]

Hypothetically what if Marlboro bought into ferrari, then surely by placing the Marlboro name on the car, it would be no different to placing a teams name on the car.

Ferrari to launch new car on 28 January
12 January 2011
Ferrari have announced that they will be launching their 2011 car at their Maranello base on Friday 28 January, with the covers set to be taken off four days before pre-season testing begins in Valencia.

At present, the chassis designation for the new Ferrari is unknown, with last year's car having labeled the F10. Luca Badoer is no longer part of the squad, meaning Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa will be joined by reserve drivers Marc Gené and Giancarlo Fisichella.

Ferrari ended 2010 third in the Constructors' Championship, 102 points behind new World Champions Red Bull Racing, as Alonso and Massa registered respective drivers' placings of runner-up and sixth.

Cockpit test for Alonso

Maranello, 15 January – Fernando Alonso ended the “Wrooom” festivities with a nice double win in karts and Fiat 500 and following straight on from that, today it was time to slip into the cockpit of the car in which he will tackle the 2011 championship.

The Spanish driver was in Maranello this afternoon to try the seat for the new car, arriving shortly after three in the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro Car Assembly area. This was thus Fernando’s first opportunity to get his hands on the 288 chassis, which will be used for the pre-season test sessions. There with him was Technical Director Aldo Costa, chief designer Nikolas Tombazis and his race engineer, Andrea Stella and after the fitting, they were able to discuss the latest developments on the car.

The assembly is going to plan and next Monday it will be Felipe Massa’s turn to come to the factory for his seat fitting.

A rumour about F11 (this rumor matches with information I had since several weeks ago):

F1 – Une suspension révolutionnaire pour Ferrari ?

Apprenez ce mots dès aujourd’hui, car il représentera la prochaine tendance technique des médias : Suspension Interconnecté.

Dans son intervention, très constructive, auprès du Podcast du magazine anglais Motorsport, fin novembre, l’ex-patron de la technologie de Renault F1 Team, Pat Symonds, toujours au fait des tendances techniques, a indiqué que la Scuderia Ferrari disposait de ce système.

La tendance en 2010 restera la suspension à barre de torsion, généralisé par la Red Bull RB6, mais il semble que Ferrari ait été plus loin encore avec son système. Reste une question : comment ça marche ?

Deux hypothèses à ce jour :

* La première estime que cette suspension interconnecté distribue le poids également sur chaque roue, afin d’augmenter la stabilité de la monoplace. Sur un aspect mécanique.
* La seconde estime qu’un concept électronique liant la direction, la suspension et le différentiel sont raccordés, avec la même finalité de stabilité de la monoplace.

Translation (with Google):

F1 - A revolutionary suspension for Ferrari?

Learn what words today, because it will represent the next trend of technical media: Interconnected Suspension.

In his speech, very constructively with the Podcast of the British magazine Motorsport late November, the former boss of the Renault F1 Team Technology, Pat Symonds, still abreast of technology trends, said that the Scuderia Ferrari had that system.

The trend in 2010 will remain the torsion bar suspension, generalized by Red Bull RB6, but it seems that Ferrari has gone even further with his system. Reste une question : comment ça marche ? One question remains: how does it work?

Two hypotheses to date:

The first believes that the interconnected suspension distributes weight evenly on each wheel, to increase the stability of the car. Sur un aspect mécanique. On a mechanical aspect.

The second considers a concept linking the electronic steering, suspension and differential are connected with the same objective of stability of the car.

Nice, hopefully no suspension failures next year.

[Tony]

Thanks for this information. So this is the date where Ferrari launch Alonso's 2011 Championship Winning car.

Nah, it's the day we get our first look at the car, compare it to the other teams that have already launched and ask oursleves why Ferrari's design looks less aggressive than the rest lol....

This will do nicely if it's indeed true and does what it's intended to.

[shostak]

ScarbsF1 Craig Scarborough:

Talk within the sport suggests ferrari linked the front & rear suspension on the F10 somehow. I've seen no evidence, but I'm working on it

Linking suspension front to rear would reduce longitudinal weight transfer, like an antiroll bar does for lateral transfer.

While this might aid grip in accel/braking its most likely to be to keep the floor at the correct rake for aero benefit.

[Greig]

Can't be true, Ferrari never bring anything new they only copy

[Mrs.Domenicali]

10 days to go and counting.....woohoo

[Eugene]

hello! every one

I want to tell with you guy's, Ferrari to launch 2011 F1 car at end of month and the new car planned for the final week of this month, while testing gets underway on Feb. 1 ....

I don't think your time machine quite worked.. you've arrived too late

[TheProdigalSon]

So it seems that rumour from shostak appears to be true - quote from BB boards..

According to Autosport magazine, the new Ferarri will adopt the Red Bull pull rod suspension.

Two days of work at Maranello for Massa

Maranello, 18 January – Felipe Massa has been very busy working at Maranello for the past two days. On Monday, the Brazilian was tackling a session in the simulator, also meeting Aldo Costa and Nikolas Tombazis, who brought him right up to date with the latest developments on the new car. This afternoon, Felipe was in the Assembly Area, to work with engineers and mechanics on his seating in the cockpit, after which he had a long discussion with his race engineer, Rob Smedley.
