Kaže Vettel Novi Ferrari je puno bolji od prošlogodišnjeg Red Bulla

Hmmm.... pa kad gledamo kako je prošlogodišnji Red Bull ustvari bio jako, jako dobar bolid, onda ova izjava itekako ima težinu. Istina da se Vettel teže prilagodio na onaj bolid nakon svih mogućih promjena, ali bez obzira na to, vidijelo se već od sredine sezone Vettelova prilagodba, tako da nije ovo bez veze šta kaže Vettel.

Pa dobro, svi bolidi ove godine su dosta brži nego prošlogodišnji. Izjava nije ništa novo ustvari, al eto, dobro za Ferrarijeve navijače

Zanimljivo će biti između Ferrarija, Williamsa,Red Bulla pa i McLarena ako Honda proradi.

Nije stvar u brzini, nego koliko je lakši za vozit. Vettel je lani u nekoliko navrata jako pohvalio Red Bullov bolid, ali je isto istaknuo kako se on teško prilagođava na njega. Sad ako je javno rekao da je ovaj Ferrari bolji od lanjskog Red Bulla, onda ipak to nešto znači, jer mogao je šutjet i nikom ništa...

Al što to konkretno znači? Pa i ovogodišnji Red Bull je bolji od prošlogodišnjeg.
Na stranu sad prilagodba, govorimo koliko su brzi bolidi. Nedvojbeno je da su ovogodišnji puno brži, preko dvije sekunde koliko vidim, ako ne i više.

@hattrick druže, pitanje za tebe. jesi našao igdje objašnjenje za ove resice na dnu zadnjeg krila?

Inače ti sva ta stražnja krilca na stražnjem krilu služe za stabiliziranje stražnjeg dijela bolida.. stvara nekakve zračne vrtloge koji su ciljani u tu svrhu.

Mislio sam da ima nešto posebno za ovo, jer samo Ferrari ima takve resice. Mislim da ove male s desne strane.

Bilo bi lijepo da se F1 vrati tamo (uz uvjet da Melbourne ostane u kalendaru).

TEST ANALYSIS BARCELONA: Ferrari race pace SF15-T

For the first time in these winter tests, Ferrari has proved a real race simulation. During the morning, after some comparative tests, was promoted the new front wing, already tested by Vettel yesterday, which provides greater downforce.

After comparative testing, Kimi is dedicated to perform simulations of qualification, first with soft tires, then with super soft tires to late morning. Recall that the gap indicated by Pirelli between soft and super soft compound is about 1 second per lap.
The afternoon began with the Finn simulation race getting good lap times.

1st stint with tires Medium duration of 21 laps with an average pace of 1:31

2nd stint with tires Hard duration of 17 laps with average pace 1.30,4

3rd stint with medium tires experimental duration of 28 laps with average pace 1.28,7

After the great work done on Power Unit during the morning today, with the car stood still in the pits for over 2 hours, the SF15-T has proved a vehicle performance in terms of delivery of that balance.

Turning along the path has been possible to observe, particularly in curve 5 and the last chicane before the straight, that there are still problems of traction.
Improvements over 2014 are still evident and the car behaves on the whole well in stretches guided.

From the behavior of the car out of corners faster you notice how, despite the great work done by the engineers in Maranello, the suspension appears to be still rigid. Despite this turn-in appears to be greatly improved even in the slow corners in tight radius.

Although the performance of Mercedes are still a mirage, Ferrari and other direct pursuers are approaching their performance making interesting the fight for second place. Now the second force, as seen in these winter tests, seems to be the Williams with Ferrari and Red Bull right behind pending revealed the true potential of the McLaren Honda.

Ferrari: you want to do ... light on the flow of the SF15-T

Ferrari wants to do ... light on the trend of flows on the SF15-T. The technicians of Cavallino this morning have mounted two powerful lights to LED (photo 1 Effe Tech) on the sides of the rear of the Red Army for illuminating paraffin that was splash in the rear of the car, to see even more evident than usual the 'pattern of cash that were taken by special cameras.

The aerodynamic research continues to evolve with ever more sophisticated tools to search for more accurate data, since the study of flows is becoming a key element in the development of the forms of the cars.

Much has been made in recent days about the chilly weather in Barcelona not particularly helping teams completely understand their cars and Pirelli's 2015 tyres, but Ferrari's James Allison says testing the car in warmer conditions wouldn't suddenly provide a completely different picture:

"Winter testing in Europe always asks slightly different questions from the car than you get when you’re in Bahrain: but it doesn’t turn night into day. Most of what the car really is is revealed here as much as on the other Grand Prix circuits during the year. And I think what we see is a well-mannered car, so we expect these characteristics to be broadly carried over to the other races."

Ferrari: Kimi is fast, but Arrivabene rumbling

Ferrari goes like Williams, whereas the Mercedes will be impregnable? Kimi Raikkonen gets the third time in the penultimate day of collective testing in Barcelona with the super soft tires square the SF15-T only 14 thousandths of a second from Felipe Massa with Mercedes-FW37.

Fans can watch the Cavallino to Melbourne with some confidence: if the silver arrows are unreachable, everyone else seems within reach of the Red Army. And the fact that the benefit is by the Finnish driver who last year seemed a shadow of itself, is a measure indisputable growth of the team from Maranello.

Raikonnen in the simulation of the qualification (but not with the tank was completely empty) has arrived at an abutment of 1'23 "276, which is more than encouraging seen that the day has put together 136 rpm (equivalent to 633 km, that is to say again the distance of two Gp).

After aerodynamic tests carried out in the morning and late afternoon (he tried a new front wing and the nose with the new media pursuant to the cameras) and trim, Iceman started the first race simulation with SF15-T " Overall the test went pretty well, given that we have simulated the distance of a GP. Now we wait to be in Melbourne for recognizing the reality of the forces in the field. "

He smiles also technical director, James Allison:
"This winter we covered a lot of laps, but until you try to simulate a race, a lap after another, stopping only to change tires, can not be said to be really ready to get serious in Melbourne. For this we are pleased to have completed the first try our simulation on the distance, and reliability demonstrated. For this I am satisfied with the tests conducted over the past two days, from which it is clear that the car behaves as expected. Try winter in Europe gives feedback slightly different, because of the climate, from what could be evidence in Bahrain, but not completely changes the cards in play. Much of what you see here is what we would see even on the other tracks of the world over the course of the season. And I think we saw a car that you know cause ... well, a feature that we expect to see reported on the race tracks. "

Team principal Maurizio Arrivabene, arrived this morning in Barcelona, ​​tends to tone down: does not want to create too much euphoria around the team of the Horse:
"At this stage the times really matter little. If you go right now you have to be fighting for the world, but then there are days like yesterday that you have a thousand small problems to solve in which everything goes wrong. Let's say that in a difficult day we still managed to complete the distance of two Grand Prix. And the end is so much stuff ... ".

The provision of Kimi, however, is encouraging: without closing a perfect lap, maybe he could break through the wall dell'1'22 "is close to Williams ...
"Now I do not care - continued Arrivabene - now only counts reliability. If we wanted to try the performance we emptied the tank and we put the super soft: I'm sure the tempone would come, but what would it do? A Nothing. The important thing is to have created a work program with a certain discipline: he made ​​a plan and we followed him all the way, fottendocene times. I do not want to delude the fans: our program is that we have announced, we will try to win two races and he centreremo three ... And 'useless to go ahead because now you know the music by heart ... ".

Today there was a meeting of engineers to talk about the rules in 2017 ...
"The fact that we have seen is the sign that there is a will to find a common solution, taking into account that we are all in competition with each of us. This is normal, not to say that Toto Wolff pray and get comfy. In fact I do not even think, given that it will win anyway. The important thing that has emerged is that there is a willingness of the participants to build something together. "

Ferrari po mojem mišljenju mora unaprijediti hlađenje motora, time što treba zatvoriti prostor oko ispuha jer time gube tzv. drag i strujanje zraka prema zadnjem kraju bolida. Već par godina odlučuju se za sigurniju varijantu , te su prema meni malo prekonzervativni u tom polju.

Ponovit ću što sam neki dan napisao. Od kad ja pratim F1, Ferrarijeva filozofija je uvijek bila pouzdanost na prvom mjestu (sasvim suprotna od Red Bull-ove). Nisam siguran hoće li se to promjeniti. Ako neće, na koji način misle zatvoriti zaostatak u odnosu na konkurenciju. Ferrarijev kraj je uži, ali od konkurencije je još uži.

Tu malo grijesite kada kazete Ferrari stavlja pouzdanost na prvo mjesto, a preformanse na drugo! Pouzdanost bolida je kao covjekovo zdravlje, zar to nije najbitnije? Ferrari je zbog pravila ogranicen po pitanju razvoja motora, sad zamisli da je pored manjka brzine problem pouzdanost!?

Ferrarijevi motori su pouzdani to je bitno, brzina se moze nadoknaditi dobrom aerodinamikom - slucaj Red Bull prosle godine. Ferrari je za ovu sezonu odradio mnogo vise nego u zadnje dvije, sto je super. Tim se uigrava, Arrivabene je rekao da ce Ferrari isporucivati vozacima konkretne update, a ne kao prosle godine malo - malo pa neki dio na bolidu koji ne sluzi nicemu, trisili su se bezveze.

Dakle Ferrari se je priblizio RBR i Williamsu, previse je traziti da dodju u rang Mercedesu, ali s novom reformom ce sigurno doci do Merca jer i oni ce doci u nemilost FIA pa ce im se ugasiti dominacija....

Ja sam zadovoljan s ovim Ferrkanom, vazno je da su vozaci motivisani, uprava pametnija i eto ljepsih vremena

Ma i ja sam zadovoljan sa Ferkanom. Ovo je stvarno veliki skok naprijed.
Što se tiče "nasilnog" gašenja Mercedesove dominacije, naravno pitanje je vremena, ali nisam za to. Veći je gušt da ih se pošteno dobije.
Ali da budemo potpuno iskreni, ako su oni napravili ovoliku razliku spram konkurencije, što mi je naprosto nevjerojatno, ja nisam siguran da ih se može bilo kako pobjediti osim namjernim gušenjem njihove dominacije.
Što se tiče te pouzdanosti, pa naravno da svi žele imati pouzdan bolid, ali ipak stojim iza onog što sam rekao. Evo dobar primjer su Red Bull i Toro Rosso. Prvi crkavaju kod pit exit, drugi pumpaju krugove. Pa se ja "pitam" zašto?
Tako istu stvar možemo primjeniti na Ferrari vs Sauber. Prvi voze, ali znaju se po 2-3 sata zadržati u garaži, drugi pumpaju krugove.
Ali ako usporedimo Ferrari vs McLaren, onda je jasno ko dan zašto prvi voze više od drugoga. Kao i prošle sezone. A svi znamo tko je na kraju ipak bio brži.
Kao što znamo tko je prošlih sezona bio pouzdan, a tko se kvario i osvajao naslove.

Da ali koja korist od crkavanja? Sta bi rekao za McLaren "nit prde nit smrde" daleko su od pouzdanog, a brzina je jos u upitniku. Sad zamisli da si brz, a motor ti rikne i koja poenta price?

Red Bull nije vise onako brzi od Ferrarija, da ne govirim TR, hajde reci mozda su oba tima tu negdje, sto je odlicno za Ferrari jer su proslu sezonu bili gori i od Williamsa...

Ferrari je prslu sezonu zrtvovao brzinu motora zbog aerodinamike, eh u tome je bio problem, jer se mehanicki dio nije uskladio s aerodinamikom vec mu se morao prilagodjavati sto je bio promasaj. Marmorini se ocepio po pitanju noge koju je dobio iz Ferrarija. Tombazis se jednostavno gubio i da stvar bude gora Luca kao i obicno hitro reaguje i otpusta Marmorinija, mazda najmanje zasluzenog za to, ali eto i to je dokaz lose logistike. Ovaj novi sef Sergio dao je nogu trulim jabukama Fry-u, Tombezisu i Mattiaziju i ispravlja krive Drine sa pravim ljudima, jer ovi novi nisu nista revolucionarno uradili samo su pametniji i iskusniji, pa ispravili greske staroj ekipi koji konstantno prave ruglo od bolida i prodaju suplju pricu.

Meni je drago sto je Ferrari napokon skroman, nema vise onog pre*eravanja oko titula, kako su oni najbolji bla bla... Sam Arrivabene je rekao ako Ferrari pobjedi vise od 2 utrke trcati ce go hehe... ko nebi (mislom n na nas navijace Ferrarija)

Ferrari napokon radi i cuti, slicna strategija kao i u eri Michaela, nikad niko nije znao sta Ferrari sprema na testovima, vec na utrkama pokazu drugo lice. A ne treba ni jzimati u obzir prvu utrku sjeti se ocajnog starta 2002, a kasnije lude dominacije,do duse to se nece desiti , ali ovaj Ferrari napokon frcera kao tim.

F1 | Vettel: "Simulation encouraging. Ferrari, Williams and Red Bull nearby "

March 1, 2015 - Sebastian Vettel ended the winter tests the Ferrari with another good race simulation. Driver and team are satisfied that both the reliability performance of the SF15-T.

After Kimi Raikkonen yesterday, today was Sebastian Vettel to engage in the simulation of qualifying and the race, last finishing work before the trip to Australia that will start the 2015 World Formula 1. A day, to want to be picky, a little ' less satisfactory than that of yesterday, but the feelings at Ferrari remain very positive

In qualifying simulation, the four-time world champion has made ​​two attempts with supersoft, stopping the chrono on '1: 23,469 and cover 1: 23 486. A time of two tenths higher than did yesterday by Raikkonen and Felipe Massa and four tenths worse than Bottas, author about an hour before the best time of the day. Nothing alarmism however, Vettel admitted he made some small Re: please and, like yesterday, the SF15-T did not travel to tanks completely empty.

In the afternoon we moved to the race simulation. Here, as you will see in the chart that you have prepared, the pace of the German was slightly higher than yesterday's Raikkonen, but we must consider the variables given by temperature and wind. The simulation was disturbed by a short break caused by an alarm for a checkup, but nothing that concerned the engine. Like yesterday, FormulaPassion.it offers in detail the time of the simulation of the Ferrari race:

These are the words of Vettel at the end of the day: "The good news is that once again we have traveled many miles and collected information. The fact that our race simulation has gone more or less according to plan is encouraging from the point of view reliability, although in this respect we can still improve. From the point of view of performance, it is clear that Mercedes is still ahead with a certain advantage, but now I see behind us, the Williams and Red Bull are very close. In a couple of weeks we will know more. Meanwhile we have to move forward step by step, looking especially to ourselves. "

James Allison confirms the satisfaction of the team while not lacking of regret about glitches encountered today: "Compared to yesterday was not a day entirely free of problems, yet we managed to score a number of laps, successfully completing a simulation race, so they can count two before Melbourne. We conclude the evidence winter satisfied for how the car behaves, how the test was conducted and the operational capacity of the team. "

Slika koja dobro pokazuje kako su produžili peraju skroz do nosača zadnjeg krila. Time se želi poboljšati ležanje zadnjeg kraja u zavojima i također unaprijediti najbitnije, protok zraka na pravo mjesto.

Inače sjetite se 2010 i onih peraja skroz do zadnjeg spojlera koji je zabranjen od FIA-e krajem godine.

I Ferrari je imao malu 'misteriju' ......

Ferrari: bulkhead wing broken because of a bird

Ferrari also had its small mystery: Saturday the SF15- T has had to stop in the pits for the failure of a bulkhead of the rear wing. Kimi Raikkonen was forced to a stop that lasted a little ', as long as technicians Horse did not understand what had happened in the rear of the Red Army.

The "clique" that is seen on the bulkhead has worried the engineers of the racing department because at first it looked like it had been a structural failure, while a more careful analysis would have revealed the element that has solved the. .. yellow.

Between the slits of the bulkhead, in fact, were found the remains of a hapless bird that was taken into full dall'alettone the SF15-T. Ferrari with 488 laps in four days (equal to 2271 km) was the second team to do more road, confirming good reliability values ​​in parallel with the indisputable performance improvement compared to last year that would have been assessed in 1 " 1.
