Ferrari Power Unit Hardware & Software

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

That (green) 'rad', might be an air-air intercooler, not a simple gearbox oil rad. The blue pipe seem to be connected to it and it looks like one of the 2014-2015 water intercooler pipes... (rumours say Ferra ri will use water-air and air-air devices)

Yes they have moved water intercooler from V to the inside of chassis, and added another one above compressor like Merc and RBR last year.

Radiators are interestingly placed in V shape.

Merc did this? I have not seen any mention of that.

RBR? AFAIK they only have two R-R intercoolers in the sidepods.

Nope it's very different. It's a 2016 PU. The 2015 didnt have a big inlet plenum like that...

I thought they had it above compressor as well.

The radiators that are placed above the gearbox are normally oil cooler and electronic cooler as per Mercedes and McLaren. Don't think the one shown would be large enough for an intercooler.

That RBR rad is a gearbox and/or ERS rad. But the Haas one seems to be an intercooler.

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Hmmm... is that silver duct coming from that exchanger (that we assumed is a small air-air interccoler and not a simple rad, based on the Haas pic ) or is that duct coming from the compressor...

Strange exhaust and inlet manifold...
The exhaust pipes do not seem to merge before penetrating the gearbox bellhousing...
And the gearbox bottom is nicely elevated

Looking at this pic, where the ice stops and the charger starts, it looks like that they've build a split turbo. It looks like there is no room for the compressor and not obvious where the charged air comes out of the compressor.
The silver duct looks like that it's the cooled down charged air from the front of the car coming into the airbox.
The small radiator on the back is looking at the tubing a oil cooler and I'm curious about the square box. Looks like something of a air balance chamber.

But the compressor air box seem to be heading towards the rear and descending behind the intake plenum. So I think the compressor is still at the rear of the engine... and that silver duct is going 'forward' not backward, either for a Merc like w-a intercooler or for the intake plenum
