Ferrari F10

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Think that's a trick of the camera.

dont think so. just a longer wheel base so the rear wing is much further away in reference to the front wing. (the front wing has been lined up.

that being said, looking at the side view, there is alot of space between the front wheels on the new car and the 2009 front wing. im sure the 2010 spec front wing will have a much wider chord.

The top plane of the side pods seems sculpted to guide some the airflow as opposed to last years car which was just flat. I guess they went with a RBR/FI style front nose due to achieve lower drag and as a result save on fuel.

It's a strange configuration I'll give it that. It all looks a little out of proportion :S

considering we think the engine can be hard to keep cool ( compairing the cooling of the R and TR)
I dont see the vents for the rads in this pic.
are they leading out to under the wing, just above the defuser?
but with that tight backend will there be enough air flow.
I have a feeling they will have to cut half the engine cover off for hot races

They have something really funky going on at the rear crash structure, is there a hole in it where the wing mounts?

I think they are 2009 spec, look identical when overlaying in PS.

that's my impression too.
I wonder whether it is because the old wind is mounted, or they don't have new tyres before testing starts. Would wait for Fiorano testing images to see whether there would be new tyres fitted.
