Ferrari F60 - Fisichella's qualifying spin 18 Oct 2009

Ferrari F60 - Fisichella's qualifying spin

Giancarlo Fisichella's spin in Q1 in Brazil looked harmless enough, but triggered a red flag after he was unable to get the car moving again. It later emerged that he had accidentally touched the engine cut-out switch (red arrow), located at the bottom right of the F60's steering wheel. Team mate...»

Ferrari F60 - evolving brake duct design 26 Sep 2009

Ferrari F60 - evolving brake duct design

No major changes on the F60 for Singapore, as all Ferrari's efforts are now focused on their 2010 car. This drawing, however, shows new rear brake ducts - a component that's increasingly becoming an aerodynamic device. It features a squared inlet (1) and a vertical fin (2), and on Friday afternoon...»

Ferrari F60 - Monza-spec front wing 12 Sep 2009

Ferrari F60 - Monza-spec front wing

A new front wing for Ferrari in Italy, with a totally new main plane featuring a little step (black arrow) either side of the 50cm-wide central area. This effectively raises the wing further from the ground, meaning less drag and downforce, as is the requirement at the high-speed Monza circuit. The...»

Ferrari F60 - revised rear wing 29 Aug 2009

Ferrari F60 - revised rear wing

Spa is the first really fast circuit of the calendar and every team have introduced new medium to low downforce wings, both front and rear. This is the rear wing used by both Ferraris, with a shorter chord to the main plane and a taller leading edge, curved upwards towards the middle. The endplates...»

Ferrari F60 - revised rear diffuser 24 Aug 2009

Ferrari F60 - revised rear diffuser

In Valencia, Ferrari introduced a wider central section to their double-deck rear diffuser to improve the level of downforce at the back of the car. This is the third evolution of this diffuser design, the last having been debuted in Barcelona....»

Ferrari F60 - chassis height testing 28 Jul 2009

Ferrari F60 - chassis height testing

In practice in Hungary, Ferrari, Brawn, BMW Sauber and Toyota all tried out revised u-shaped bodywork at the front of the chassis, following the trend set by Red Bull, in order to see just how high they can go without interfering with driver visibility. This cross section of the Ferrari's nose...»

Ferrari F60 - Felipe Massa accident 26 Jul 2009

Ferrari F60 - Felipe Massa accident

Felipe Massa's huge qualifying crash in Hungary was triggered when the spring from the third damper on Rubens Barrichello's Brawn came loose. It hit the F60 firstly just in front of the cockpit (right arrow - near the triangular engine cut-off sticker), before then striking the cockpit's side...»

Ferrari F60 - modified rear diffuser 11 Jul 2009

Ferrari F60 - modified rear diffuser

Ahead of Friday practice in Germany, Ferrari revised the F60's rear diffuser. Felipe Massa ran it in the morning session, both drivers in the afternoon's. The previous version, shown in the left half of this drawing (1), had just one vertical fence. The new version, shown on the right (2), now has...»

Ferrari F60 - revised weight distribution 20 Jun 2009

Ferrari F60 - revised weight distribution

With their 30kg KERS system immoveable, the only chance for Ferrai to considerably alter the F60's weight distribution was to move the front axle backwards. They have done this for Silverstone by altering the angle of the suspension arms (previous angle in yellow). Of course, to do this they have...»

Ferrari F60 - rear wing modifications 07 Jun 2009

Ferrari F60 - rear wing modifications

In Turkey, Ferrari have introduced a second generation version of their double-decker diffuser, together with a totally new rear wing. The cut at the top of the end plate (top arrow) and the extension to the front of the end plate's lower section (lower left arrow) are both new features. In...»

Ferrari F60 - rear-end packaging 24 May 2009

Ferrari F60 - rear-end packaging

For Monaco, Ferrari have slightly modified the 'B' version of the F60 introduced in Barcelona. The 'coke-bottle' section at the rear has been revised to improve cooling and the team have been able to close the engine-cover opening that featured in Spain. Note the teeth in the section of floor around...»

Ferrari F60 - revised front wing 23 May 2009

Ferrari F60 - revised front wing

For Monaco (upper circle) Ferrari have modified their new front-wing end plate along similar lines to Brawn, with the additional outer element now taller (previous Barcelona version in lower circle), to better channel the air away from the front tyres. Strangely, this solution doesn't give a big...»

Ferrari F60 - revised front wing endplates 10 May 2009

Ferrari F60 - revised front wing endplates

In Spain, Ferrari have introduced Brawn-style front wing endplates, with a second element (1) to better manage the airflow around the front tyres. They have kept the small fin (2) introduced in Bahrain, and there is also an additional slot (3), similar to that on the Toyota. The wing's main profile...»

Ferrari F60 - KERS battery packaging 05 Apr 2009

Ferrari F60 - KERS battery packaging

A KERS-related failure on Kimi Raikkonen's car in opening practice at Sepang allowed us to see how the system's large battery is packaged in a carbon fibre box within the F60's chassis. It is located in a cavity under the chassis, the presence of which means a significantly smaller fuel tank than...»

Ferrari F60 - rear wing updates 29 Mar 2009

Ferrari F60 - rear wing updates

Ferrari introduced new front turning vanes and a new rear wing on Friday in Melbourne, but only on Felipe Massa's car. It was added to Kimi Raikkonen's on Saturday, though he didn't get much practice running with it thanks to his hydraulic problems. Both men qualified and will race with the new...»

Ferrari F60 - revised exhaust exits 28 Jan 2009

Ferrari F60 - revised exhaust exits

Ferrari have had to modify the exhaust exits on the side pods of the F60, as seen at its launch at Mugello earlier this month (left diagram). In testing the length of the tailpipes has already been reduced (right diagram). Under the original text of the 2009 technical regulations the Ferrari...»

Ferrari F60 - front wing 26 Jan 2009

Ferrari F60 - front wing

Even though the dimensions of the front wing's central section are now standardised, the teams have devised a variety of solutions for the rest of the wing. The shape of the nosecone is now more significant, as the designers search for ways to claw back the downforce lost under the 2009 rules....»

Ferrari F60 - rear-view mirror mountings 14 Jan 2009

Ferrari F60 - rear-view mirror mountings

In a bid to dramatically reduce downforce levels, the 2009 technical regulations have effectively outlawed the various fins and winglets that had become a familiar feature on the sidepods of Formula One cars in recent years. But they haven't stopped Ferrari creating these innovative rear-view mirror...»
