Ferrari F2008
Ferrari launched their 2008 car this weekend, and from what I can see, it’s a sculpted update to the 2007 car.
We can see that the sidepods are one of the largest changes to the 2008 car, they are very finely sculpted. Those along with the changes to the front end (the front wing is very sculpted now) should allow the car to cool the engine, and gear box in a more efficient manner. I mention the gearbox especially as they have to last 4 race weekends this year, and I assume Ferrari, like all the other teams, have beefed up the gearbox.
Other visible changes to the car. The engine cover has changed, and looks like it’s perhaps designed for better rear airflow.
Those rearview mirrors have grow a little as well, I wonder if it will improve the non ability to view behind the car that both drivers complained of last year.
The other obvious change is one that we will see on all the cars, the head protection for the drivers has been raised, to protect drivers from cars going over the top of the driver.
