I don't be seeing anything new or exciting

At the bottom of this page there are some detailed pics of the F60B from the recent test

It's no double-decker, but the rest of the car seems finally more complicated.

yer i now realised some1 else posted the same parts in the other thread of the F60's development.

Anyway yer, i failed to see a DDD, but there is a circular hole on the middle of the diffuser looks like.

Looking at the As pictures, the F60b seen there is not the complete update.

The front wing, front wheel fairings, sidepod entries, bargeboards top rear wing and endplates have all been raced before.

What I can see new are revised sidepod exits, using a forward placed slot around the coke bottle area (now slightly less bulged), although the exhaust outlets look similar.

The big change is around the rear impact structure, which is much higher underneath and the beam wing now splits over the structure as per McLarens. The diffuser looks similar although the saw tooth gurney below crash structure is new. Although the diffuser is a single volume 175mm like the F60, this F60B appears to sport a new boat tail (formed by the step under the car) which is longer and more clear air can be seen through the starter hole. Thus I think the diffuser will grow an upper deck before it races, much like McLaren and Renault have done by creating an interim diffuser then adding the upper deck and keeping most of the rest of the diffuser the same. Expect to see something different in Spain.

That's what I thought too.

in case someone is interested, the italian sports paper La Gazzetta dello Sport has posted a short video on the F60B changes

it's in italian, but it's pretty self-explanatory

looks like the only differences are the presence of the 'slots' and a different shape/number of the vertical flux separators.
it's not a real double decker (yet). They do have space under the crash test, so that might be coming later.
other diff is in the exausts profile

[modbaraban]

What about those additional apertures behind the exhausts? I thought the rules don't allow any extra holes there

So Kimi became Ferrari's Alonso, first to get the upgrades?

So Kimi became Ferrari's Alonso, first to get the upgrades?

no, its still equality in my mind. and right now Massa theoretically has a better advantage due to his weight, therefore the first light chasis goes to Kimi to try and put both of them higher up instead of having 1 car in the back and 1 in the middle. Its not favoring, but just work wise they could only get 1 light car out now, so why not help the guy that KERS is not helping. especially since the F60 apparently functions better with KERS.

New front wing details.

Changes in diffuser.

[Bob Brown]

that looks like a horrible attempt at a double deck..........i see the 2 tiny slots in the 2nd layer but wow......i would've expected more.

[eiterndergoblin]

wow
hard to spot, but it seems to be a DDD

[andreas4]

Wow, what a hightly sophisticated double decker diffuser. =D> =D> =D>

And this crap took two them months to develop???
