THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

How many times can we see this story over and over and call it news.

That story is not news. It is "olds."

 

Hello Everyone,
According to my sources, Ferrari is waiting to see how the Formula 1 championship will terminate. The outcome is going to have a significant impact on the presentation of the car and the promotional strategy that will be used to unveil it.
Best Regards,
G

 

I just made a little impression with a pen of the f70, based on spyshots. I didn't know what to do with the headlights, so I just made some fine lines. Hope you like it!

Second in both Championships... perhaps even 3rd in the Constructors! They 'd better fall back to plan B.

 

NICE ! Let's hope that the real one ist getting close to this

 

This is what I have been told by one of the lucky few who has his name on the list of future owners.

 

In the spy shots, he cockpit looks narrower.

 

Nice. You might be onto something.

 

Nice. Alot of P3/4 in there. Wish I could do that with a pencil

 

lots of juicy stuff i hope...of course, if anyone, you'd prob know. c'mon spill it!

 

Quite a bit actually as they now run to a 'budget'. I was however unaware that any material was banned as surely that would be up to the teams to decide, yet that is clearly what the article says.

 

Many materials are banned for cost reasons. Beryllium is one of them.

 

Beryllium was not banned for costs. Beryllium was banned because some wackos thought that beryllium dust would be breathed in and would cause mesothelioma. (No one has every established this . . . just some jacko wackos.)

Sorry but I couldn't find the new pictures.

 

Because they are not new and have been posted before.

 

That must be it.

 

Many materials are banned from F1 for various applications.

Not a recent article but gives a brief idea:
http://www.iom3.org/news/adapting-formula-1-engine-restrictions?c=574

These still apply today. See 5.16, 5.17 and 15.1 of:

:-D
It will be plan B or even plan C

 

jackpot ... 3000 posts and we still don;t know anything.

 

Plan C involve rebadging it a Red Bull?

I kid, I kid.

 

Nothing on here is 'news.'

It is all 'olds.'

 

The reasons given for the banning of beryllium in F1 engine manufacture were cost and safety.

Beryllium is almost ludicrously expensive to manufacture, and during the machining process is high carcinogenic.

Once machined and fitted to engines, the risk from beryllium particles causing a health issue to anyone via the engine exhaust is almost non-existent, but it couldn't be proved to be completely non-existent (which was one of the FIA's main arguments for banning it).

Ferrari (amongst others), argued that if materials such as beryllium were not banned, every team would have to spend Millions on research into such exotic materials in order to level the playing field (which ended up happening anyway as teams sought out legal material alternatives!).

As the FIA were at that time desperate to introduce cost cutting into F1, this seemed to be a good start (and for Ferrari, it took away one of their rivals biggest advantages).

 

I like this rendering from the front wheels back. Front end ... not so much.
