don't expect on track pictures todayThe Ferrari team has been forced to call off the shakedown of its new car due to the poor weather conditions at the Fiorano circuit.
Brazilian Felipe Massa was scheduled to give the new F10 its first run today after the car was unveiled in Maranello this morning.
However, the Italian circuit was covered with ice due to the low temperatures and Ferrari has been forced to postpone the run.
The team said it will carry out the shakedown as soon as the weather allows it.

Damn, that's ugly, I've never been a fan of the white wings... and wow did they ever copy the RBR, I hope Newey came up with something that crushes that old design

Yeah, no idea. Seems so narrow it wouldn't move that much air, must clean up flow for the rest of the carWhat is up with that nose and what's so special about it aero wise?

To think that this design is exactly the same one that they will show up to Bahrain with is absurd.Damn, that's ugly, I've never been a fan of the white wings... and wow did they ever copy the RBR, I hope Newey came up with something that crushes that old design

Looks like a high nosed zero keel design. My guess is to improve flow under and around the nosecone, at the cost of flow over the top. Makes sense because with the narrower front tires this year rear aero grip won't be as important as trying to optimize the car to make the front end stick.Yeah, no idea.

Whoa. Huge difference in wheel-base there, buddy.
Damn, I didn't know they had that much room in the rules to expand the wheelbase that much!

all the fuel has to fit somewhere

Yeah, but I'd think they'd want to go slightly wider with the body than longer, but I'm no engineer...
Posted 28 January 2010 - 06:26 PM
wider = more air to push out of the way

Are the cars limited by dimensions, or do they have to be a set length/width/height?
