Interesting comparison between the F60 and the F10:

with that wheelbase, Monaco will not be pretty....

Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.

The back wheel on the F10 doesn't look to scale. I do know that Bridgestone is making the front tires more narrow this year.

Ferrari was experimenting in Friday practice last year with the "Red Bull" higher nose and humps on top of the nose cone. Looks like they are going with that for this year, at least in early testing anyway.

I like the tapered rear section of the new car

I'm waiting to see what Newey has come up with.

As for the Ferrar F10 challenger, I agree with the longer wheelbase comment above...hopefully they learned something from the last time they tried a longer wheelbase; although I realize it might now be necessary given the larger/no refueling tanks.

I think you'll see all the cars with a similar wheelbase. That's a lot more fuel they need to carry. The other interesting bit will be precisely HOW much fuel do they elect to carry. Any pound saved= speed but then we might see parts of races reserved to saving fuel which will be horrible...

Another issue to watch for is how they will manage the weight balance change as the tank empties....

Fuel economy races , nothing like them ..............

And here's the new Williams:

Maybe but that was the only race where the old car worked. Short wheelbase of 09 Ferrari was maybe it's biggest problem so this should be an improvement.

I think it looks quite cool and very different which high nose etc.

The rear end is interesting, everyone will try to be as empty as possible back there.

I would guess that this year there will be much attention to gathering mass as close to the center as possible to compensate for the extreme weight change during the race.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some of the mid to lower pack teams try to short fuel their car at certain tracks (Montreal comes to mind along with Singapore) in anticipation of safety car periods where they can get away with saving fuel and try to gain an advantage.

Here's a poll question, which team will be the first to run out of gas during a race?

ilko

I can see Ferrari ordering Massa to crash and loading Alonso's car with enough fuel for 6 laps... Oh wait!

Veloce Raptor

LOLOLOLOL!

I say USF1 will be the first to run out of gas....if they even make the grid. 2nd choice is Red Bull.

I don't get it.


It looks like they studied the Red Bull car when making this one.
