Ok part of the shrouding. What do you think that is?

just a different shrouding,a new one.

[PadGeT]

Intrigued to know what the benefit would be.

Less cooling efficiency,faster tyre warning maybe.

[PadGeT]

Have seen other teams using it

If heat retention is the issue, stop making so many drills in the first place on the pads.

Yes PadGeT, I honestly can't remember ever seeing bottom mounted calipers on our cars for as long as I've been a visiting guest on TSN (2011). RBR has had all four corners bottom mounted for quite some time now, IIRC enjoying quite significant CoG benefits.

The rear calipers on the Ferrari F14T have always been horizontal.

F14-T is a serious master . Conservative choice of tyres doesn't help either.

Is Ferrari coming or going? Are we focusing on next year or are we still engrossed in this year's championship? Can we expect exciting developments or should we bide our time in anticipation of next season? Does anyone know whaty going on?

Don't expect anything this year. We and everyone else are stuck in ome place with no real margin for big improvement. We have to wait for an engine unfreeze.

Pathetic really. How can there bea freeze when we didn't even know te playing field. Merc has a free reign at the moment and everyone's hands are tied. They will have theasiest year in history because no one is allowed to do anything to catch up. Farcical.

Big changes @ Maranello

http://translate.googleusercontent.c...1-F1WOzVUquixA

James Allison, Technical director & Mattiacci's right hand man, has the final say in the development of 2015 car
Fry & Tombazis will work under Allison

Luca Marmorini out of engine department

[killer]

Where is Luca M headed? Any word who replaces him as head?

[tifosi1993]

[Paulpg87]

yes Marmorimi will be fired, they said it in tv. Due to a poor engine this year and not being able to copy blown exaust in 2 years from Renault.
They interviewed also Trulli (during formula e) and he said that Marmorini build up also Toyota engine and it was crap.

[Alesi1]

I'm getting the feeling tombi and frys days are also numbered

Can see in that clip, Fernando took bit to much kerb, and unsettling the rear.

It's been a problem with our cr since 2012 and coincides with front pullrod. We won't go there, suffice to stay that has been an ever on going issue.

Lauda denies Ferrari poaching top engineers

Niki Lauda has promptly played down suggestions dominant Mercedes is bleeding engineers to Ferrari.

Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that a couple of handsful of engineers from rival teams have started work at Maranello, including a trio who previously worked on Mercedes' currently-dominant turbo V6 power unit.

But Mercedes team chairman Lauda insisted at Silverstone: "We have all the important engineers firmly under contract.

"They are staying," the great Austrian reiterated. "We have long term contracts with our major engineers."

Germany's Auto Motor und Sport said one of them is Mercedes' most important engine man, Andy Cowell, who is under contract for the next five years at least.

It's true, that since 2012 we have problem with mechanical traction. It may well be because the suspension is not cooperating as it should (it is inter-connected after all). We did have great traction before that.

I don't understand. Marmorini was well regarded and respected. Quite a few posters on this forum praised of him highly and because he had a leading role in the new V6 engine development there was an air of confidence. If he was truly inadequate, why didn't Ferrari do something about him before getting into this sort of situation?
