New Ferrari: Evolution rather then revolution

[Mike Rotch]

Here is a pic of the 2004 Ferrari. Looks rather like the 2003 Ferrari and doesnt sport the "radical wing" Jean Todt said it would possess.

A bit of a let down

It may be a let down becaue it doesn't look radically different...but lets see how it does on the track.

Racing isn't about looks it is about perfromance and engineering. We ALL know how Ferrari handles that.

BTW - look how LONG the nose is and hare far the front with is set back. Look at the front suspension and the tail....

I think it is quite a sexy car. Then again I liked the F2003...

Why change a proven thing?

 

[The359]

Ignore this...

They also changed the shape of the front wing in the rear.

They also have the shark fin on the rear engine cover like Toyota, although it isn't as large as the one on the TF104.

The radical new front wing will be introduced in testing the next few weeks. It was not as good as they wanted yet.

Actually, Rory Byrne said that the car in Melbourne will look totally different to the one shown today.

then why bother releasing it?

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Because as far as the car goes, the aero package isn't all there is to it. They want to get the chassis out testing, so that they can test al lthe mechanicals and electronics, and verify that the core packaging works.

The aero stuff will come in time.

And The359 the team that re-introduced the engine cover fin was actually Williams at the '03 British GP.

Even though the car kinda looks the same I still think it looks fantastic.
