Ferrari F60

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.

Looks fatter. The "hump" is less pronounced.

The slope of the bodywork where the "E" marker is has definitely flattened out. Maybe to kit the KERS in. Isn't that where Ferrari had that horrid intake stuck on during initial testing in December?

Compare the exhaust exits with the "Acer" branding and the Marlboro barcode graphic.

Also, I notice that the shape of the engine cover slope has changed. It's completely straight now, whereas it used to have a slight curve.

Etihad banded on the body just behind the front wheel has got smaller. Have they cut they sponsorship a little?

The F60 is quietly getting better and better. I should think the changes to the side pods will pay large dividends. At the very least, it's not ugly!

I remeber Stefano, and maybe even luca saying the car would look drastically different at Melborne than at the launch. Was this a bunch of BS to mislead others or are they going to show up with somthing that much different? Youd think theyd start testing more developments or devices by now if that was the case.

Sometimes too many changes are not as good as it sounds . Design changes occur usually to improve things or even worse to correct things ( ex Renault ) !!

Almost every year the car in Launch is quite different from the car raced at Melbourne
Future is like walking into past......

The bodywork going from the the cockpit side protection and back has undergone some changes, the section has been somewhat elongated and seems to flow more instead of being a lonely hump. Its most noticeable near the fuel cap.

If someone could find better or similar angle/side pics that would be great. Thanks in advance if someone happens to know of any and share.

We noticed that on the 1st of March :) You can find a good comparisson by Diesel at the top of this very page.
Also notice the old-school 'short' engine cover

The upper one is from the 1st of March and the lower from yesterday. It looks like they have updated the engine cover again with that little triangle at the back end.

I think they also had some different rear wheel covers.

What is it with these small triangles? RBR have them too, i wouldnt have thought they had enough surface area to really do much:S

Just helps the airflow a little further over the back end I would assume.

My bad, but I've been a little out of touch with the threads as of late.
