Comments on: Ferrari - Back to their Ugly Ways? http://www.formulaf1.com/2007/01/24/ferrari-back-to-their-ugly-ways/ F1 news and pictures mixed with fun Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:01:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Matt Burgan http://www.formulaf1.com/2007/01/24/ferrari-back-to-their-ugly-ways/#comment-2988 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 21:31:44 +0000 http://www.formulaf1.com/2007/01/24/ferrari-back-to-their-ugly-ways/#comment-2988 As I said before, the nose and the rear wing are EXACTLY THE SAME as the 2006 models (sorry Gustav). I've also found out since that the side pods on the 2007 car are actually SMALLER (must be the difference in the angles of the photos that make them look bigger). Also, the Suspension Geometry IS different. This is because Ferrari have changed from a "single-keel" design to a "zero-keel" design meaning that the suspension now connects directly to the bottom of the chassis, not to the underlying keel.

Plus the rear end of the car is totally revised. The barge boards are also different. there’s also an intake on top of the nose just in front of the driver.

Good observations guys! :) The main difference I spotted was the different suspension (completely different geomerty) and also the nose like Gustav pointed out.. Can't wait to see which cars perform this year.. it's really a lottery :) Hi Matt and Gustav..

This is not surprising as it is well known that the F2007 is using the exact same front and rear wings as the 248. Firstly, the 2007 wings are not quite finished yet. Secondly, Ferrari dont want their "cleverness" copied before the first race. Its the Sidepods - the new ones seem wider at the top.
