This is a small set of bargeboards . The idea in not new as it was presented in the past also ( in Jordan cars but not identical though) . Their function is to manipulate the under nose air flow first improving the quantity of air passing underneath and around the car .

they're vertical. one on each side of the tub (you can just see the shadowed back of the other side in the photo).

I see it now. For some reason on the extract you showed they seemed like delta wing stealth fighters:

F2007 , F2008 and F60 all have analogous set of small bargboards under the nose cone

thanks for that, but i'm asking, do they primarily control airflow around to the sidepods, or primarily inside to the front splitter?

i ask this, as the barge boards in front of the sidepods will be used to seal the airflow around the sidepods & floor edges. so do these further-forward vertical barge boards do the same, or are they to seal airflow underneath the tub?

Just found a nice pic of the "new" bits and pieces in the rear end.

There's a new small winglet right in between the tire and the diffuser (on the left side of the image). Diffuser is connected to the rear wing (which is the way it was in the beginning if I'm not mistaken)
Can't spot anything new... So I'm not sure what's all the secrecy is about

Im afraid that this picture is from the previous chassis in the previous Jerez test.So theres nothing there from the "bits and pieces" Ferrari said

interesting winglet connected to the diffuser sidewall there. Anyway care to speculate its function?

Actually, it isn't. I think motorsport.com messed up the dates. Lotus didn't run in the first jerez test, did they? --> http://motorsport.com/photos/popup.asp? ... 8.12:09161
I have no idea what that winglet is for though. It's not directing the air towards the diffuser, obviously, and its too low to direct any air towards the rear-wing. It has an anhedral angle, so I doubt it produces any downforce... --Insert dead zone comment here-- lol

Seems you're right,my bad.Actually their bad
On the winglet now,i have very little aero knowledge,so if someone here can shed some light on its function would be very appreciated

Ferrari seems to have preserved the launch spec rear wing during the first winter tests at Valencia and Jerez

Yes!!!!! Bar555 is back. more tech pics on cars please(like you did last year)

Slow news day!
http://formula-1.updatesport.com/news/a ... /view.html

Feb.19 (GMM) Ferrari has designed a new wheel nut in an effort to win F1's 2010 pitstop race.

With in-race refuelling not allowed this year for the first time since 1993, Williams hinted recently that tyre pitstops in 2010 could be as short as sub-three seconds.

Spain's El Pais newspaper reports that Ferrari has responded to the challenge by designing a cone-shaped nut that integrates better with the wheel gun.

The nut also features the automatic triggering of its fastener, where previously it needed to be pulled manually by a mechanic.

"We have worked over the winter to speed up the process of changing tyres," said designer Nikolas Tombazis.

If you believe what you read, Ferrari are leaving no stone unturned!
I'm surprised nobody has thought of this before!
THee same amount of bearing with a "just get it in the neighborhood" socket!

I look at that with 2 view though. The automatic locking is good since you take the negligence out of it. But its bad because its one more part to fail if it doesn't work properly....

Looking at these pics. It is profoundly simple.
