Ferrari F1-75

[Simone Ferrari]

David Sanchez was involved in that McLaren car.

The rear of the sidepods looks like the McLaren MP4-26 sidepods, just with a conventional intake rather than the L shape.

Wasn’t Pat Fry involved in both?

Here's thought about the sombrero sidepods - if there's a wet race, those sidepods are going to become lakes whilst the car is sat on the grid. Then when it pulls away, that water is going to go backwards on to the rear end / rear tyres.

I realise wet race starts are relatively rare, but I wonder if they thought about it...

I think that it is not fully concave, toward the back there is a drop and it would drain out.

I'm sure it won't be a problem, but this silliness came to mind:

Does the "Bird Bath" on the top of the sidepods interact with the wake of the front pitot tube? Or just a triangle fin on the nose?

No, it's just the classical hole in the front for driver cooling

I think they will open up the slots in the side pod cavities like Williams. They probably started off with slots to make it look more like a cooling feature.

Unless it really is just radiator under there.

With the intensity of rain needed to fill those lakes in a matter of seconds after the formation lap, the tyres would be soaked anyway.

I think you completely missed my point.

I believe that the teams have used a triangle shaped splitter on the nose for years to create a v shaped vortex to push air around the halo. These sidepods look like they catch that wake, and bend it around the car to the back..

what could this mean?

What a fascinating machine. It looks fantastic & a little familiar. Maybe it's the grand child of the 412 T1......

Super short nosecone. Is that the new thing with this new regs or only Ferrari did it?

[Blackout]

It's possible they shaped the blue area like a boat (in top view) so the surrounding air will accelerate around it and lower the pressure there to enhance hot air extraction from the louvers

[LM10]

The front wing can’t be final as there are slots all the way to and under the end plates which is illegal. I’ve noticed every car launch has featured this, but the cars that have run on track definitely do not.

Does anyone know if ferrari’s shaking this baby down at fiorano?

Binotto: "Tomorrow we will get the F1-75 on track at Fiorano for the shakedown before packing everything up and sending the car to Barcelona for the first pre-season testing session!"

Love that car. The whole 1994 grid looked fantastic.

This was my thought. The shape of the mirror supports sets it up.

So the leak was the real car, just with some lens distortion. Cool. Love the livery.

Being pedantic, the seams on the panels are wavy.
