Red Bull cured that with engine mapping.

To save money for next year, crash structures will be identical for all teams (currently they design their own systems and have to go through a side impact test by the FIA) The new crash structure is designed in conjunction with RED BULL!!!

Diffuser & FW look interesting, hopefully they remain on the cars for the entire weekend.

The Ferrari with the rear diffuser-style Lotus
Some argue that there is already the influence of James Allison in recent changes of F138

The Ferrari looks to Hungary to check what are the hopes for efettive groped a pursuit of Sebastian Vettel and his Red Bull Racing team Prancing Horse has set up the F138 with an aerodynamics package for the high load , resubmitting solutions wings who had already seen in Monte Carlo and the "monkey seat," but the most interesting at the moment is the rear diffuser modified . As you can see in the image Effe 1 Tech the rear extractor in the outer part has been changed significantly and now shows a design that seems oientato towards the development philosophy of the Lotus . The Enstone team adopts solutions that go against the trend compared to other top teams. The Red Bull Racing, for example, exasperated attitude "beaten" by which lowers the front wing and rises the speaker to create a "room" that is able to pump more air. Ferrari, at least so far, has followed this track, but the new diffuser with fins at an angle of 45 degrees as the E21 suggests that the Red Army will begin to see some idea "inspired" by James Allison, the former dt of Lotus, who has arrived in Maranello ( not yet known whether officially or not). It will be interesting to see if the concept of Enstone will work on a car that was born with a very different inspiration ...

FIA TO ABOLISH SIDE-IMPACT CRASH TEST - REPORT
Thursday 25 July at 08:35 : Jul.25 (GMM) F1's governing will abolish the side-impact crash test, German magazine Auto Motor und Sport reports.

Until now, the individual teams have been responsible for coming up with solutions to pass the test, mandatory for the homologation of the chassis.

But correspondent Michael Schmidt reports that, having collaborated with world champions Red Bull, the FIA has now developed a standard side crash structure that must be fitted to every car from the 2014 season.

The layout and materials for the structure will be identical on every single seater next year, he wrote.

"The new rules will save money and make the cars safer," said Schmidt.

The teams will save money by not having to submit their cars and designs for side-impact testing, while the standard structure can also be reused.

Hopefully all this will give us some progress...

The flap was not mounted at that time. But look at the cascades. That is a new wing that has not been raced yet but they tested it in Germany and during YDT.

Also the new floor was tested by Rigon last week.

Has some one stolen our two curved flaps?!?! or just not mounted on yet?!?!

**gjoko-mkd** · 25th July 2013, 23:15

This is odd. Why collaborate with Red Bull only instead of involving all teams. Teams have probably already design their 2014 cars. Wouldn't this allow Red Bull to try and ensure it fits well into their 2014 aero design.

Well pat said they worked...clutching at straws haha!

**Kiwi Nick** · 27th July 2013, 02:24

It's really unsettling that the team covers the cars with Flowviz during every practice. It is a clear indication that they have absolutely no faith in the new wind tunnel and that is a really, really bad thing. Especially with Spa and Monza coming up.
