Felipe Massa tested a much improved Ferrari in Vairano


The Chinese Grand Prix to make clean slate and new account with the Ferrari 150 ° Italy were given term in Maranello. The career of Shanghai was the last chance for the seat of the Scuderia. The results were pretty mediocre and Ferrari played you activating its alternative plan.
Istanbul Park should be a much improved Ferrari on the trial which was held in China two weeks ago. As discussed in ACE, they are almost as many technical innovations as they would those be they presented in Barcelona 14 days later. Come on, that would almost be a Ferrari 150 ? Italy B. this first series of improvements yesterday proved them Felipe Massa in the circuit of Vairano at the Circuit de Catalunya.
In the face of Istanbul Ferrari has been working on two fronts. The first is to try to reduce the degradation of the front tires. The second, take advantage of the benefits of a more flexible than the current front wing. A solution believed is one of the major innovations of the Red Bull kb7.
The Italian team took one of these day filming to track its improved single-seater. It was not possible to roll it with the new parts because the FIA does not allow it in a day filming, but yes they could prepare it to save time when mounting them, for example by raising the back of the car. On Friday in Istanbul Park we shall see the racing car with all the developments planned for the Grand Prize of Turkey.

Adrian Newey: "McLaren improved copying our leaks"

In the past Grand Prize of Australia McLaren took that leap forward that he has once again put in positions of honor. At the moment, probably have the second best overall, after the untouchable Red Bull, and ahead of Ferrari. The improvements introduced by the Woking in Albert Park gave the expected result and result back in the ointment.
Adrian Newey, technical director of Red Bull, is very clear the reason for this great evolution, McLaren had copied the Red Bull exhaust system. A practice is not new in the Grand Circus. In the absence of ideas, the teams often take borrowed those operating of its rivals, see double diffuser or confucto-f, to cite the most recent.
The English engineer commented it upon receipt of the Segrave Trophy at the RAC Club in London:
McLaren took a giant leap forward by copying our exhaust system, that is what I have to say. We believe that to us is, but it seems that it also serves to McLaren. For us it is a compliment, but would hurt us then we will win with him.
I do not think that the team based in Woking is the only one to take given the idea of Red Bull. Williams hopes to have a system similar to the Chinese Grand Prix, and not be disposable more rivals caused to rise to the cart. Another thing is to the copycat give you such a good result to Red Bull and McLaren. The hurries are not good counsellors.
