Ima toga još....Ferrari is not a bluff by the last test session in Barcelona arrived interesting confirmations on SF15-T that can be hope the fans of Cavallino ahead of world debut at Malbourne in less than a couple of weeks. The car curated by Simone Resta is a clear increase in quality compared to the disappointing F14 T, but is not the case of illusion, nor to think too big. Maurizio Arrivabene does well to keep your feet on the ground and preach the low profile.
FERRARI WILL 'COMPETITIVE IN SUMMER
It was not until the debut of the European season, in mid-May just in Barcelona, to assess what will be the true potential of the Ferrari, but only since the summer it will be desirable to expect a SF15-T can challenge Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg for chase those two successes seasonal promised by Sergio Marchionne and Maurizio Arrivabene.
ON SF15-T CORRECT MISTAKES OF 2014
In Maranello were humble in correcting errors macroscopic 2014: Kimi Raikkonen seems a pilot myself with the SF15-T, which maybe is not very fast, but it is sincere in the reactions and particularly reactive in settings. The smile of Finnish is a sign that something has changed in the Racing Division. Perhaps, this year Ferrari will fully rely on two world champions, while in 2014 it was only and only rejoiced Fernando Alonso to hold high the banner of the Horse, because Kimi looked like a zombie.
THE AWAKENING OF KIMI RAIKKONEN
Iceman (the Finn is actually less ice than I want to appear) in Montmelo was ahead of Sebastian Vettel of a couple of tenths and Kimi is not a magician's lap (Saturday in his attempt to qualify with the Pirelli super soft did not do a perfect lap, as the ideal lap could be better than the other two tenths). Having found the Finnish, does not mean that German is subdued. Just the two drivers have a different approach to work. Raikkonen needs little data to go fast: When "feel" the machine knows how to draw out the maximum. It is an instinctive leading to limit the material that is given to disposal.
And Vettel APPROACH HAS MORE 'GRADUAL
The four-time world champion, however, is more analytical. He wants to know every technical aspect of the car, discovering strengths and weaknesses to help develop. Participates in all the meetings with the engineers and wants to be informed of every detail, adding information to another, weighing the telemetry data. Seb is acquiring the operating system of Maranello and its growth is more gradual, but aware. He will be the reference point of the team for the development of the SF15-T.
BETWEEN THE RED ARROWS pursuers SILVER
Ferrari looks to the future with some confidence, because it is not yet able to get in the wake of Mercedes, but can fit into the category of challengers with Williams and Red Bull Racing. Everyone else seems a step backwards, starting with the McLaren has a Honda engine still immature. The MP4-30, however, is promising and could give some surprise to Ron Dennis and the Japanese will be found if the minimum reliability to finish races.
FOUR MOTORS FOR SEASON ARE A CHALLENGE TOSTA!
It is true that the technical regulation has not changed (except for the faces), but it is equally true that have imposed the use of only four power unit for pilot season has forced builders to lengthen the life of engines beyond the five races: a technical challenge more challenging than it might seem. It will be interesting to see in Melbourne how many tokens of development will use every engineer in the start of the season. Less than it seemed earlier this year.
059/4 STARTS WITH LESS THAN EXPECTED TOKENS
Ferrari, for example, has not yet completed the full cycle of life with the most current version of the push 059/4. Mattia Binotto, the head of the mechanics of the horse, had said in the presentation of the web SF15-T that would be held in Maranello tokens during the season, but is likely to be longer than expected.
FORTY HORSES IN MORE 'AND UNDERSTANDING ERS
The 6-cylinder turbo Horse should account of forty horses more than in 2014, without extremes choices Melbourne that will be rather conservative. Ferrari, however, benefit from the accurate understanding of the ERS work by its engineers, recovering part of the gap with the unit of Brixworth. Not all problems would be solved: the breaking of a candle would have highlighted that there are still phenomena of detonation in the combustion chamber (the area in which the Maranello engineers collaborate with Austrian AVL). More reason to not take unnecessary risks early in the season, waiting for the long runs counter dynamic give responses that the technical director James Allison is expected, especially since even the performance of the Sauber have confirmed that the engine is no longer ... a black hole.
GROWING THE WAIT FOR MELBOURNE
Barcelona said that Ferrari would also behind the Williams FW37, but could deal with Red Bull Racing which is much covered in Spain. Daniel Ricciardo order among these three teams in Australia will be determined by who can make fewer mistakes, which seem to have seen the car technically very close. Now it's just a matter of waiting a few days to find out how things are seriously ...
