Ferrari F138 - new engine cover 11 May 2013

Ferrari F138 - new engine cover

Friday's rain in Barcelona ruined Ferrari's planned programme of testing new components like this engine cover (top), which never even made it on to the car. Compared to the standard cover (bottom), it is lower and features a different fin. The team are expected to reintroduce it at the forthcoming...»

Video - Ferrari's foot-operated DRS 02 May 2013

Video - Ferrari's foot-operated DRS

The rear wing Drag Reduction System, or DRS, has come to play an important role in Formula One racing, increasing overtaking opportunities without making the competition artificial. Most teams' systems are operated by hand, via a steering wheel control. Ferrari's is different, as this video...»

Ferrari F138 - revised aero package 20 Apr 2013

Ferrari F138 - revised aero package

For Bahrain Ferrari have kept the same updated aero package introduced at the last round in Shangai, including new turning vanes under the chassis - with two slots (inset), simulating a three-piece element - and a totally new front wing. The main drawing shows the previous configuration. Contrast...»

Ferrari F138 - revised front wing 14 Apr 2013

Ferrari F138 - revised front wing

Another update (lower drawing) in China for the new layout of the F138's front wing. There are now two horizontal slots on the outside of the endplate (lower drawing) instead of the previous one. Also gone is the vertical slot (2), while the upper flap has been revised with a different longitudinal...»

Ferrari F138 - revised exhaust cooling 23 Mar 2013

Ferrari F138 - revised exhaust cooling

In Malaysia Ferrari are again running with no hole in the nose and chassis, and with a very similar configuration to that seen in Melbourne. To cope with the heat of Sepang, the bodywork around the exhausts has been opened up (part of the original F138 project plan) to improve the extraction of hot...»

Video - Ferrari F138, post-launch updates 17 Mar 2013

Video - Ferrari F138, post-launch updates

Between its launch in Maranello and the opening flyaway rounds of the season, Ferrari introduced a number of important updates to their F138. This video guides you through the most significant, including a heavily revised front wing, repositioned exhaust exits, bodied driveshafts and...»

Ferrari F138 - chassis hole comparison 17 Mar 2013

Ferrari F138 - chassis hole comparison

Arguably one of the most relevant technical stories in Melbourne was Ferrari's choice not to use the inlet in the F138's nose and chassis (see main drawing). The Australian track is not considered to be as aerodynamically demanding as other circuits. The inlet (see inset) they could have used is...»

Ferrari F138 - bodied driveshaft 13 Mar 2013

Ferrari F138 - bodied driveshaft

The bodied driveshaft is another F1 trend set by Red Bull's Adrian Newey in 2012 and followed by all the top teams - including Ferrari - for 2013. The rules allow for wing profiles (of a limited size and length-thickness ratio) on suspension arms, but not the driveshaft. What Newey did was cleverly...»

Ferrari F138 - duct under nose section 13 Mar 2013

Ferrari F138 - duct under nose section

Like Sauber and Red Bull, Ferrari's new car, the F138, has a duct underneath the nose section of the chassis. But unlike Sauber and Red Bull, Ferrari do not have a further hole on top of the chassis. The destination of the air going into the duct is unclear. The official answer is to cool the...»
