This forum contains threads to discuss teams themselves. Anything not technical about the cars, including restructuring, performances etc belongs here.
From the side I have to say it is one of the most stunning F1 designs I have seen, period. From the front it looks like the driver is sitting in the bath, but you can let them off for how good it looks elsewhere!
I know that until the car hit the track for testing, we don’t really know how each will perform… But, between the aggressive styling of the F1-75 and with a very strong pairing in Sainz and Leclerc, Ferrari seems set to fight at the front… What an exciting season this is shaping up to be!
For me till now the most beautiful car. I am a big Verstappen/RB fan but really hoping the Ferrari is a good competitor for the current top 2 teams.
I also think that Ferrari is nest looking car by now.
I wonder their cooling job and how they improved cog of car. It said that these cars faster at straights and slower at turns (or maybe slower turns). It should be beneficial.
I think that might be the smart approach since we have budget cap and one of the biggest tech rules change in decades. Such combo can serve 5 championships to a single team. If you get things very wrong now it will be really hard to recover.
The [1996] F310 through [2004] F2004 series of cars was very iterative wasn't it? By 1999, the F310 concept was refined to a WCC winning car and then it won consistently ever since (apart from change of tyre rules in 2005). Barnard includes his 1996 F310 design as part of the series of cars that took Ferrari to the top and which set up a strong basis for Brawn and Byrne to develop, even if the F310 looked externally different to the F310B.
So if the F1-75 is very right, it could be the basis of championship winning Ferraris for many seasons to come, at least 5 titles as you say.
Is that a Ford or VW camera car driving around Fiorano and not a FIAT or Alfa Romeo Stelvio? Blasphemy!
What next Ferrari using Gedore tools instead of Beta or USAG?! It is bad enough the regulation part is BBS Japan wheels and not homegrown OZ, Speedline or Apptech.
It's even worse than a I thought, the other camera car with a crane is a Mercedes GLS (!!!???). Unbelievable! A Mercedes driving around Fiorano.
Have not Italian video production companies heard of the Maserati Levante?
Thankfully the other car is actually a Jeep Grand Cherokee not a Ford or VW so that's much better, a beloved member of the FIAT Chrysler family. Alfa Romeo technician Italia Autos on YouTube loves his Jeep Grand Cherokee -- most reliable car he's ever owned!
