The F2oo7 has been running a few new developments, but I can´t verify them with complete certainty for the time being.

For now, what do you guys think about the new winglets around the brake ducts

But from the few pictures I have found of them, the angles aren´t very telling, I can´t come to a conclusion whether they are on the brake ducts, or surrounding them. Such as this pic below.

I believe those winglets were there most of the season already.

They were there all season, they were even on the 248 F1.

Thank you guys, I appreciate your imput greatly.

From what the photo comparison demonstrates, they went from the brake system enclosure to the brake duct.

End note: There is a huge difference in brake duct size from each car, although this might depend on the circuit from which the photo was taken at. Or whether they were running wheel covers on the 248F1 to aid in brake cooling or not.

Speaking of Ferrari, this is supposed to be a picture from a test they had in Monza at the end of last month, aimed at solving the problems with riding the kerbs, at least according to rumors:

There is obviously something different about the front suspension, but it's not clear enough. Maybe someone with more experience could help?

isn't it illegal to run off set body parts? look at the rear wing

Whoa, the rear wing there looks pretty crooked, silly Junior Mechanics....

The 'crooked' rear wing was a ferrari development durint the season. I remember reading about it in Autosport, think it was Monza?

Interesting, the right rear wheel look to have a severe blister too

mx_tifoso · Post 09 Dec 2007, 01:23

And the camera above the intake has a different profile on each side as well, as you may notice on the picture taken from the rear. That isn´t normal is it

Some teams run their cars with that notch(or a variation of it) in the camera.

Dunno why, cant save too much weight!!

Actually it's perfectly normal, that notch is for the camera facing backwards.

Notice how it shows a little more of the right side of the car, than the left.
