FORMULA 1: FERRARI F138 COMES THE "EVO"


A preview of the number of Autosprint on newsstands Tuesday: from Barcelona appears on the F138's largest technical evolution have seen so far on the F138. Exhausts, wings, etc..

But there will be a number of interventions: in proportion, the "package" aero is also thicker than its launch at the Chinese GP. Not only drains, therefore, but interventions on the wings - this time should touch the rear - and the wind deflectors . In addition to the typical adaptations from track to track, as the outlets of the brakes that may be different from those of Bahrain ... (Continued)
