FERRARI'S SECRETS-TO-WIN
150 The "evolution" has recovered more than a second a lap for Red Bull. Surprisingly large improvement in downforce
The fact positive for Ferrari, is that those deployed to the Grand Prix of Great Britain is the best version to date view of the car 2011, Italy 150 . The bad thing is that maybe it's already the height of his career . In the sense that the "evolution" was brought to Siverstone largest development , the "machine B", to use terminology that Maranello even want to hear. But ensure engineers Fer rare, the vicissitudes of the beginning of the season there ' enter anything with this sequence of events. "What we did not expect -
said Andrea Stella, Alonso's race engineer - had to be so far back in the early races . "
Therefore, so far, had run for cover almost every race, before coming to this aerodynamics . The second one that Alonso would make a difference. And for a change, the Spaniard had nailed the forecast. A data to be observed is the maximum speed . Lightning entering a curve, Fernando is much less straight on: at Silverstone, 296.2 km / h for him 297.1 for Massa. An abyss compared to the fastest, with Petrov 310.2 km / h , but also in Webber (304.3), Vettel (301.9) or Hamilton (300.8 ). All right wing in the era that we are mobile, which reduces aerodynamic drag, but had always said that the Red Bull went straight up because it had more downforce? " "Now we have found a lot more load- Star has admitted - and that's what makes the tires work better. It is true, there is a change in suspension geometry (rear already tested from Canada, ndr) but on an F .1, is above all the aerodynamics the key to bring the tire up to temperature. " And speaking of this, it should be noted that the rear wing "bump", with no center pillar, also has an additional advantage because it reduces a little 'a drag . Although probably the main advantage is in the renewed command of the "flap" mobile . There remain a function of the discharge sides magazines: modified again in geometry, but also subjects, over the weekend in English, which changes load variations depended on many regulations. Ten percent of throttle opening Friday morning , something more in the afternoon, when she left the directive of the FIA that canceled the limitations. And then a further reduction . But you have to think that if this scheme has been studied some time ago, apparently is also suitable for blowing "full", as used in all races except last year and should be restored from the GP of Germany . When the Ferrari started to work seriously on tailpipes , came the bombshell of the ban, initially scheduled for the Spanish GP. However, given that the Ferrari was not enthusiastic about returning to the blower discharges into release, it is likely that the subject is still a flick of the tail of the Red Bull . "I can not say what was the influence of the new regulations - said the engineer Pat Fry - The fact is that at Silverstone we have brought many new things and I think they have all worked well. Is there a problem with the tires that do not temperature we were immediately taken, but with the intermediate Fernando was very good. If it is going slower because he had to spare in the early stages. " The 150 "Ages" has been developed in two wind tunnels, the Maranello and Cologne . Evidently the problem of adjustment was not as bad, given that the system works now. Maranello working methods have changed as well, around the figure of Pat Fry and new technical facts come from McLaren. The great fear of winter testing , When Ferrari took in Barcelona that was to be the latest evolution pre-season , has passed. So the engineers suddenly realized that the track did not give the same feedback from the theoretical calculations and the gallery at Silverstone there was even need to deepen the aerodynamic test track , played in the wet and in part with rain tires, which do not give very precise information, they are larger diameter and different profile affects the aerodynamics . For the Grand Prix of Germany will come other changes , still body.
