According to the Gazzetta dello Sport and Omnicorse Ferrari that I will be presented Feb. 3 at Fiorano, will represent a clean break with the recent past.
The form of the new cars are impossible to imagine, but we can summarize the set of innovative solutions of which the project will be equipped Ferrari 663, applied by the group headed to Pat Fry and orchestrated by Nikolas Tombazis usually gave a hand to which the technical consultant Rory Byrne. Just Byrne studied for this car one of the innovative solutions which will be provided with the project: the deformable structures that need to protect the passenger compartment in case of impact (on account of this solution that Ferrari has taken longer than usual to overcome the imposed by the FIA crash tests) in the area of the car .. Until the 2011 season, these structures were cross dogs this year will be forfeited and carbon in real airfoils and aerodynamics play a role. The Technical Regulation allows to do this as long as the height corresponds to three and a half times the length. Simplify as much as possible the technical concept with an example: imagine two airfoils (with an incidence of up to 5 degrees) connected to the flow diverter which usually are on the outside of the sides and has the important task of hanging up the rear flows arriving dall'anteriore.
Even the sides will be an important addition to the project will be so close that does not exploit the full width afforded by this regulation (140 cm) but are higher than the previous layout. This design of the sides involved the complete renovation of the cores become more narrow and long hours. The objective of this particular form of the sides is to maximize the airflow towards the rear of the car to compensate for the reduction of downforce at the rear due to the abolition of the exhaust blown.
The Ferrari that we will see the presentation will take a very standard solutions of discharges: the terminals that will blow in the lower profile of the rear wing. In any case, we're already working to optimize this concept as they have done both McLaren and Red Bull. The purpose of the technicians from Maranello is to have the highest exhaust to increase the efficiency of the upper profile.
The sides will end very low by using pull-rod suspension and a new transmission from the vertical space at a premium.
Engineers have also decided to reintroduce the front suspension pull rod. This solution was no longer visible in Formula 1 from 11 years (2011 Minardi designed by Gabriel Tredozi). This solution makes it possible to lower the weight low and clean the area where the wheel, with sophisticated aerodynamic taken to apply the brakes, trying to better address the flow of air coming from the wing
front and feed the bottom of the car and then the speaker
Another important aspect that has influenced a good part of the project, the choice was built by Pat
Fry to have a more stretched out riding position with the belt line of the frame that does not exploit the maximum regulatory limit of 625 mm. The result is a hump of very limited connection with the nose that she will not be among the highest among those who see at the start of next season in Melbourne on March 18.
