Ferrari 2008

As usual Ferrari produce a beautful F1 car I love the way the nose blends into the upper front wing :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That F2008 sure is an intricate looking car for a preseason spec. Looks gorgeous though!

The last year they will have the chance. Might as well make it worth while

At least the "Hammershark" or "Hammerhead" or better in Italian "Squalo Martello" is a great name for a car. Better than the Walrus for the fw24 i believe it was for example or the "Ant-eater" for the mp-21.

from scarbsf1.


I've just finsihed the press launch of the car, The new car is an evolution of the F2007, we got to walk around the car (no cameras though) and I had a brief chat with Tombazis.
Here's observations...

*Same wheelbase within a few mm
*Only front wheel moved to alter WB (i.e not gearbox or fuel cell)
*New Toyota like nose
*Underside of Nose cone, sculpted into a V
*Monocoque raised all the way to the sidepods, leaving little room for drivers thighs..!
*Front of monocoque slimmed to reqiure bulges to meet regs
*Engine inlet no longer split, although hydraulics cooler stil sited behind engine
But fed from within airbox and vented out through the tail unit
*Engine cover lower and thinner along the upper part. Spiky extentions meet the toblerone rule (and confused the non tech journalists)
*Wings, floor, bargeboards and diffuser still F2007 items
*Gearbox still Ti Skeleton with carbon outer not all carbon like the press release suggests.
*cockpit stil has the two brake bias adjusters,
*plus a three position lever, that Tombazis wouldnt tell me about, except its not an anti roll bar adjuster.
Steering wheel still has buttons for In\Mid\Exit suggestign some ECU work is still possible through the corner.
*Crap little LCD displays now madated rather than the huge screen the F2007 had.

Scarbs...

Is it now definate that 2009 will get rid of the flip-ups and have the standard front wing? I remember it being reported that it was proposed to the FIA, but no confirmation...

Yea, propably they will cancel both aero-changes and slick tires. And instead they will create some other smart rules like part X have to last XX races, part X development freezed till year 20XX..


I dunno why some people are saying this new Ferrari is (even more) uglier than last year one.. Livery is as ugly and shape is almost complete same like it was before. And those not so beautiful front-wing elements are atleast finally connected more stylish way than just thrown somewhere..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

@Dave:

Where/How did you get ferrari press access? Do you have to pay for it or do you have to be a journalist or be in the press to get it?

So Kimi didn't change his helmet design this year?

It can still change i thought last years he did it middle january in testing.

Here are some pics of the shakedown:

He wasn't talking about pictures. He asked how I had press access.

... ok. Just to say though the primary reason he asked was for pictures I believe. Because Monil asked me where I had got the pictures on MSN yesterday but anyway.
