New Chassis for Kimi

Post

First of all Kimi was too good in Belgium Gp...He was absolutely rocking in race.. =D>
i love to watch him when he is aggressive...and i dont care about lewis and what their fans say about him ... their fans were supporting him when he even rear ended kimi and they said it is kimi's fault [-X

Ferrari has given a new chassis for kimi for belgium gp//
I want to know what is the difference between old and new chassis for kimi and how does it suit his driving style???

I'm not totally sure what difference a new chassis would make but with a new chassis I would assume that the torsional stiffness would weaken over time and with a new body the car may have better stability, also it may make the car more stable under braking and erntering corners. This would just be a geuss.

Or are they trying a revision with next year in mind, when Barrichello was the frustrated number 2 at Ferrari I think I remember a number of revisions being given to him to run in some races. Not trying to stir, but could this add weight to him being number 2 with DNF rate making a conservative assessment likely to back the driver with fewer DNFs to his name, although this might lead to a vicious circle if the DNFs are due to the revisions.

I am not sure one way or the other about this. Ferrari do value the WCC and there are plenty of WCC points to race for yet.

I was never a Kimi fan until last season. His performances last year won me over. You always know what you will get with Kimi, but his comments regarding second place after Spa were not those of a team player. He threw valuable WCC points away and most teams pay bonuses based on WCC standings.
Williams and proud of it.
