Thread: Developments for Ferrari and RedBull

Ferrari:

Rumours that Ferrari is working on a 'B' version of its new F10 car have resurfaced.

We reported Italian media speculation in late January that a significant overhaul of the single seater, which finished second and third on its debut in Bahrain last weekend, is taking place.

Italy's weekly Autosprint magazine has now revealed more details, including that Giuseppe Azzollini - a CFD expert - was employed by the Maranello based team late last year following Toyota's withdrawal from the sport.

It is suggested he is now working on a considerable development of the F10's double diffuser that cannot be accommodated in the current layout of the chassis.






RedBull:

A lighter chassis is awaiting Mark Webber for when F1 track action resumes late next week in Melbourne.

The Australian, already in the southern city ahead of his ninth home race, told local media: "I was talking to my mechanics last night and they have got a brand new car for me.

"I have got a new chassis for this event, it's even lighter, making sure we make even more progress to go towards the front," 33-year-old Webber said.

His Red Bull teammate, Sebastian Vettel, set pole and was leading the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend when a spark plug glitch hit.




In preseason testing Brawn/Mercedes stated that they also have new designs in development.

so its bad for ferrari to have a toyota CFD person working for them... sorry i don't get it

No my friend, the means look the f*ck out. The car has already shown in the first race that it is "right". Now they are planning an update so significant that it will not just "bolt on" to the existing tub/chassis. If you read between the lines, it means they are taking an already great car and making siginificant improvements. Same with RedBull, which is arguably already better than any car on the grid (chassis and aero - not engine). They are making improvements as well.

McLaren and Mercedes better be doing their homework.

Yup! I caught that too when I read it on Motorsport.com.
I just quoted the original writer.

I hope the season doesn't turn into a romp with Ferrari and Red Bull sweeping everything. I want to see some racing! After the first race, I think the no refueling is going to take away from the excitement of the racing.
