It does look bulgier, however how that relates to performance i have no idea
Although i hope it adds to the upwash with the steeper angle

Yeah, looks good. Hope that other teams can have a good look of that tale during the season

Kimi: “All I’m missing is a race simulation”
Sakhir, 27 February –For Kimi, this was the penultimate day of testing before the start of the season as he got back behind the wheel of the F14 T. His last day comes on Saturday. This morning’s the Finn’s progress was delayed by a problem, but the afternoon went well. “Before I leave Sakhir, it’s planned that I should do a race distance and that’s the only thing I’m missing. Today we chose to concentrate on some of the many things we still have to work on and we won’t assess the winter testing until the final day, when we will put together all the data we have gathered. What I can say is that I have been through worse winters than this.”
Raikkonen seemed very relaxed about the topic of fuel consumption and how it could influence the races, when asked about it by journalists. “It’s been years now that we haven’t been able to drive flat out from start to finish,” he replied. “First you had to look after the engines, then it was the tyres. You are never pushing 100% on every lap because there is always something you have to keep an eye on. We will also get used to the 2014 situation, but we have to start racing before worrying about it.”
As for what he thought the others were up to, Kimi gave his characteristically succinct response. “We have been on different programmes and I don’t think you can judge a car’s potential from how many laps it does in testing. We have a lot of things to test and we want to make the most of these days to check everythting, because the race weekend doesn’t last long and the hours on Friday fly by, while on the other days you are only looking for performance.”
Tomorrow, the second day of this final test, Fernando Alonso will be in the F14 T.

So that implies that Kimi, somewhere in there has done a simulated quali run, yet I don't see any times that would have reflected that...

Ferrari F14 T - stepped chassis shape26 February 2014
Like several of the new cars, Ferrari's 2014 machine, the F14 T, has a pronounced step in the chassis in order to retain aerodynamic efficiency despite the reduction in maximum chassis height to 525mm. Whilst it was obvious from the top surface that the chassis was stepped, the dark paintwork and turning vanes below the car made it difficult to determine the exact shape of the bottom of the chassis. However, in Bahrain that shape became clear, as indicated in this drawing by the red arrow.

FORZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm starting to like the looks of F14T. Escpecially from behind, even that nose which was ugly at first sight looks ok now when I'm getting used to it,
as a matter a fact it looks better than that yawning walrus from last year.

Who is he? For him to know better I'm guessing he's part of the team?

That version includes bigger sidepods as well. I hope they will not ever need to run it. It is nasty.Looks like they are also trying new rear bodywork with a larger opening around the exhaust. Not the best angle, but clearly new. (right click and open for bigger version)
Full Member
Indeed the sidepod is bigger here. Maybe we'll have to use this at races that are hot such as Bahrain here and Malaysia.

Without RB, the Renault engine program will die. There is a simple reason for this and it is all about politics. RB has such a strong position within FOM and the FIA that they will lobby hard to ensure Renault can improve their engine. If they don't lobby hard and move to another supplier Renault will be gone.
I expect to see the FIA trying to provide further opportunities for the engine manufacturers to improve their engines this year given the challenges some teams are facing as F1 needs more manufacturers in the sport.
Old, not obsolete
IMHO Renault did exist long before RBR came along and probably will continue to exist even after their collaboration ends. What would be Renault's interest in F1 series would remain to be seen.

Scarb's explanation for the small winglet on the roll hoop
@ScarbsF1 1h
Ferrari, note the small winglet on the roll hoop, this sends a pair of vortices to improve rear wing performance
Full Member
Okay thanks. Like everything else in the media, I'll take this with a pinch of salt then.

Different rear wing flap, straight trailing edge, and no Gurney flap. Strange.

Looks like the cooling outlet around the exhaust is back to the slightly slimmer design used previously
<_< | ^_^
Playing around with flow now wid the T wing above the airbox

Is it just me or are our radiator exhaust more slanted downwards too?

Can someone please explain the importance of this monkey seat? I see it being referred to in all threads. Why are we concerned if its there or not?

Good, to see them back, remember we ran wings similiar back in 2004.
Naughty Word Mod
It helps to give rear downforce. Now with the bottom beam wing gone, all D/F around there will help.

I like the new little winglet at the top of the car by the t cam. That other rear wing looks quite strange.

More than 600km for Alonso.
Circuit: Sakhir Circuit – 5.412 km
Driver: Fernando Alonso
Car: Ferrari F14 T
Weather: air temperature 23/29°C, track temperature 27/38 °C. Sunny.
Laps/Km completed: 122/660
Best time: 1:35.634
For Fernando Alonso, at the wheel of the F14 T, this was his penultimate day of testing with Scuderia Ferrari prior to the start of the 2014 World Championship.
In the morning, Fernando continued with development work on the F14 T, trying various changes to the car’s set-up and running a comparison of some aerodynamic parts.
In the afternoon, Fernando completed a race simulation with live pit-stops.
“Six hundred kilometres are always welcome, but it’s still too early to say we are a hundred percent ready for Melbourne” – said Fernando to www.ferrari.com – “We still have a lot to learn, but I am happy with the way the day went. In the morning, we did some set-up work which taught us what was the best direction to go in, while in the afternoon, we managed to complete a race simulation and every lap we did can be added to the learning phase, which is the normal situation to be in during winter testing. On the performance front, it’s still difficult to have a clear idea of what our rivals are up to and I think we will only find that out in Australia.”
Testing at this circuit continues tomorrow, when Kimi Raikkonen will drive for the final time before tackling the Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit.
