So same basic nose as in 2016 according to that source. I'd hoped the penis noses would disappear...

Why is that a 'basic' nose?

[Jovanotti]

Why is that a 'basic' nose?

Basic in the sense of same base layout, was probably not worded very clearly

Aw, I just asked becase RB has a similar concept. If it's ok for them, I wouldn't worry about it. It is not what will define the 2017 car IMHO. I am not sure it is even a pic of the 2017 car, but who knows.

Because it's an electron-pair donor?

Autosprint (via @Gianludale27) about the 2017 car
- Split compressor/turbine
- New nose (W07 style)
- Shark fin engine cover
- HPC suspension system
- Ferrari is poised to adopt split turbine/compressor with its 2017 PU. To reduce the temperatures, the turbo will be more distant from the compressor. This solution will improve cooling, allowing to reduce the dimensions of the intercoolers

[muramasa]

autosprint and those italian motor media are hilarious every year about their funny speculation attempts   

quick searching:

What is hpc suspension?

 

That would be similar to that of RBR's suspension in 2016 as far as I reckon.

[Forghieri]

According to F1AT Ferrari will keep push rod from 2016 and introduce some kind of "hydraulic suspension" to improve the car balance:

I do not have any faith in Ferrari developing a good downforce aero. Mercedes and Red Bull will eat them. The only hope I have for Ferrari is that due to increase in wing size maximum downforce will not be required for most tracks and they will be competitive with ok drag and good mechanical part which they can do. They were competitive in Japan and Belgium, tracks which required medium downforce.

Hello,

 

I have split the above posts from the Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H Part III thread, as this is some info from the new car already.

 

When we have a model name for the car we will edit the thread title.

What's the point in stating this kinda thing to the public....

It just sets them up to fail, as they did last year.

Hydraulic Pitch Control

Isn't that what Ferrari letter prompts row over 2017 Formula 1 suspension designs is about?

[Lotus53B]

Aye, but this is Ferrari, and therefore it's okay...

 

More seriously, I think that using hydraulics in real time to control pitch is fine, but if you use it to store pressure or similar, that's a no-no.

Third article from F1AT on the 2017 Ferrari (not very informative, mainly about the new rules and their presumed effects):

Yeah, I think they were clarifying if you can store the energy like Lotus says above before wasting any time going down that route.(Added bonus of forcing anyone else incorporating it to abandon that particular route)

 

They can still do what Merc are doing though and it looks like they will.

The PU is considered to be on par with the Merc one by the end of 2016 (on race mode at least). So what's the problem here? Ferrari ain't no longer daring to think about a car worth a WDC and aiming for something what we could possibly hear from a team like Williams or McLaren, especially considering that it's a reshuffle year. 

Great.

#include <ferrari.h>

 

uint32_t currentYear    = 2007;     //Starting date

uint32_t thisIsOurYear = 0;           //Next Ferrari world title date

 

while(true){                                   //Infinite loop

   thisIsOurYear = currentYear + 1;

}

 

If for only 3 minutes they would be able to stop firing people and let the engineers do their job without fear to loose their jobs if they fail to perform then they would be dominating F1 again. For them the solution is always to restructure the team, fire people and hire some star engineer to fire him next season blaming him of everything. Marchione is a top businessman, but a F1 team don't work exactly in the same way as a corporation, and he still haven't understood that. The Italian press don't help either selling smoke every winter to then publicly hung them at the very first grand prix of the season.

Not even close. Our pu cant avoid blowing itself up if it runs close to max output.

[Marklar]

Well, the Merc PU did blowed up multiple times perhaps without running close to max output...

The Ferrari PU is no more than 10-15 hp away, though it's not all what counts. Renault is approx 35 hp away
