Wow, that's strange. Really strange.

What the hell is going on

[LivingHitokiri]

If Alonso really has a destuned engine to Kimi why isn't he behind him...

Fernando's sensor got replaces and Kimi hit the wall at sector 1, Fernando said the lap was good.

[Kyss4k]

Maybe Ferrari saw from the temp data that the engine wouldn't survive. But yeah, lets make out the team are cowards instead.

Are we building car for winter or something then? Or are our guys in factory drink too much with Kimi in house? The temps won't be lower then today in the coming races...

[Rob]

Well, to make parts that actually work for a change? Would be nice.

they do, and well, but with higher temps, be a risk of DNFs. Less cooling less drag. If temps stayed as yesterday, we would of run them.

[Greig]

So if we ran the upgrades knowing full well that it would result in DNF would that be the right decision?

Some people.....

ok, what would you of said, if team say, we running new updates in race, with risk of high temps. Then we DNF, what would you say? bash the team again saying shouldnt of run the updates.

[Dino]

what do you all want? keep upgrades and we overheat the cars and have double DNF? man the team cannt win with you lot.

The team saw heat issues, which didnt like the look of. They doing their job, the heat is bit more than we thought.

+1.... Risk of loosing the engines must be high!...Kimi's engine was knocking in FP1...= WARNING!!!

What higher temps? It's normal (even lower) temperatures for a summer time. This is lamer excuse then the wind tunnel one.

[Ed Harley]

KR should improve ASAP.

The wind tunnel on this forum is worse.

What does floor has to do with cooling thoug? Engine cover, fine, even though it SHOULD have been designed to handle it in the first place, but floor? Eh, what?

better than being a sofa racer and engineer.

the floor and engine cover is going to working together.

If that is the case it would have been wiser to use 1 of our cars with all the new parts. We could then use that data for evaluation purposes. We panicked and overlooked that option possibly. This isn't the first time we have done this. Frustration is completely understandable. I think we're playing it way too safe.

Where does pettel comes from each time

loose 1 car in race and loose points for WCC. Thats doesnt make sense, sorry.

What ? Are you kidding me ? You have no clues about it.

Another useless post.

[varun]

Dyno tests are working

[hogo]

Exciting year, yayyy!

[Rob]

you would be very surprised my friend.

[Kyss4k]

We are constantly changing engine covers on race weekends without a need for floor change. Well... after a bit of hope, back to "no expectations" mode again.

[Ed Harley]

From engineering point of view it seems a bit strange to put a lot of effort in designing several upgrades for a car and then notice that one basic element ie. temperature has not been modelled sufficiently or precisely enough in computer simulations or such. But better be safe than sorry.

Some moderators in this forum must have some idea of what is going on.............You don't!!!!!!

[hogo]

@tgruener: #F1 Ferrari running the old engine cover and floor for rest of Montreal weekend. New parts too risky with higher ambient temperatures.

You can't be serious lol! But if you are, no wonder we suck so bad.

[shamim179]

It's not like we're going to get lots of points without these parts. Points would have been minimal. You've got to look at the risk/reward ratio. We've played it way too safe but ironically when it comes to race strategies at times we opt to take an extremely risky race strategy that have cost us dearly. Doesn't make sense. We could have run our engine on a lower setting to minimise the chances of a DNF but which driver is going to be willing to do that? We don't have Massa anymore.

I think the floor and sidepods are connected so they are meant to be used together. One without the other can not be used....

edit: another words they work as a package.
