Kimi Raikkonen in LaFerrari – Spinouts, flames, loud

i cant get over how bad it looks from that video

it pitches, squats, rolls and then spins into a classic 'tank-slapper' ferrari move

p1 and 918 will eat this thing for lunch

 

You should change your handle to Lone Troll

 

car rides at SUV height too

they have totally lost the plot.

Modena, you dont see that the car pitches and heaves like a corvette?(no offense, probably more than a new corvette!!)
watch the 918 and p1 videos you wont see that anywhere near as much if at all

 

I agree. Looks ponderous in this video. The rear spoiler looks like the bucket of a front end loader going up and down. Very inelegant.

 

Proof Kimi shouldn't drink before test driving a $1.7 M car

 

Car looks amazing! What a beast to get away from KIMI

 

Rear spoiler looks quite awful.

 

Ditto.

 

One should wait for independent testing before making statements. Judging from a video, where Kimi was intentionally playful, is not wise. When was the last time that a Ferrari hypercar did not deliver anyway?

 

Maybe it's got just too much grip! Even for Raikkonen!

 

I actually love the rear wing.

 

When you drive yours it will not be a problem for me because I will be far ahead of you but please have some respect to those following you as it may make them queasy when that sucker humps up.




Drove 0846 through the snowy streets today to put it on the Transporter to Amelia. You would have enjoyed that.

Best 2 U and UR Family!

 

its not even debate-able. the car looks ponderous and awful in that video

maybe that one is ready for a crash test, is all i can think of

 

I'm sure they will eventually deliver but from just examing that video they have a lot of issues to resolve in their suspension. I looks very obvious that it lacks cornering grip. I would bet that they are making lots of power but very minimum downforce, the downforce they need to support their corner entry speeds.

 

This is pretty low speed stuff where I think it's lack of mechanical grip. I also don't understand the timing of the rear spoiler which looks to me to retract too early???

 

I agree. Lots of suspension issues to work out for sure. The spoiler is a mess and you can't tell me that wasn't an after thought after Paris.

 

No after thought. It was integrated from the beginning.

 

Well then that's a very poor design indeed. That spoiler is deploying a considerable distance everytime it receives a command to produce downforce. The travel distance alone renderers that thing inefficient for real time need. Just a mess. Just my observation.

 

Well, I believe they know what they are doing...

 

i hope everything beat it eat it or what so someone will hand me the key and i will drive it around in circle doing 5mph, not that lap times or downforce matters to me

and kimi know what he's doing!! lol

 

Of course they do. The rear spoiler and its action just looks a bit too gimmicky.

 

Anyone notice Kimi waving as he came out of the corner on his second pass??!!

Love Kimi!!

 

Perhaps he spilled his ice cream mid corner?
