Awesome picture! This car looks evil!!! Good to see an agresive development again :xmasbiggrin:

[Tommy_F]

The car in the drawing doesn't conform to the 2011 regs:

The rear fin:

Another route to banning F-ducts, as well as a move to limit the ever expanding rear fin, the rule prevents any bodywork reaching the rear wing.

“3.9.1 No bodywork situated between 50mm and 330mm forward of the rear wheel centre line may be more than 730mm above the reference plane.”

The wheels:

After the static front wheel fairings that abounded in 2009, were banned and the wheel design homologated, there must have been some surprise that Ferrari managed to create an aerodynamic wheel shape in 2010. This is partly limited now by the restriction on surface area for spokes and shaping. The limited only allows 13% of the wheel centre to be spoked, meaning that a ten spoke wheel has to have spokes just 16mm wide.

“12.4.6 When viewed perpendicular to the plane formed by the outer face of the wheel and between the diameters of 120mm and 270mm the wheel may have an area of no greater than 24,000mm2.”

That car looks amazing.

[Grillo]

It looks like a tweaked F10 but some experts said the nose would be lower and none low-exhausts configuration would be effective in 2011.

I think it's very far from reality and regulations but we can collect as many drawings as possible to see who is closer to the actual F11.

Translated bit:

thanks for posting that, nice nice read. Well looking forward to seeing new car bring it on.

[TheProdigalSon]

I doubt the F11 will look like that. Ferrari are going aggressive on the aerodynamics so I hope & expect something radical.

A lil more info on the 2011 challenger

Translated version:

When you touch a Ferrari with the key to originality? Brawn and double horn in 2009, McLaren F duct and low leakage of Red Bull in 2010, have been elements marked trend in Formula 1 and Ferrari and forced the others to copy them to their cars.

This is the goal of Ferrari in 2011: just copy and go to trailer during the season. You have to set trends, to pursue follow us: "When our technical director Aldo Costa, spoke on the design end, I wanted to encourage all our engineers to push the theme of innovation, which, in Formula 1 means exploring all areas to the limits set by the rules, "said Stefano Domenicali.

Ferrari did it between 2000 and 2004, five years of triumph in what was the beacon for the other teams that imitated from one year to another the best inventions cells, which led to the conquest of 14 world titles in the last 11 years. To retrieve this road map, want a car in Maranello, starting next January 25th, competitive and in the first race without the bump this season.
With the new regulations and clarified in the Scuderia want the car, we'll see if called F2011 or F11, can be distinguished by eye from rivals, especially in the central and posterior, where they concentrate most news.

In this approach, conducted by the prestigious technical journalist and designer Paolo D'Alessio, nose or nose, should have a more pronounced trend, with two long vertical drifts and two bumps visible on the top. The front wing, which can not be moved from the steering wheel as this year, will feature a new design of the flaps and vertical sides.

However, the new pricipales arrive according to the center, where they begin the more radical solutions. Starting with the sides, which have a substantially different pattern of F10. It is presumed that the air intake high and look forward to a redesign of the bottom to increase air flow to cool the engine compartment and radiator cores.

Air for KERS
Can not rule out opening a small, on the bottom, to power the kers compartment which houses the device that in 2009 it was close to 30 kilos and batteries included. Ferrari is independently developed an improved version with better performance than the standard version, and slightly smaller batteries. Moreover, according to Pat Symonds, a former chief engineer of Renault, Ferrari will have an interconnected suspension, which should better distribute the weight of the car on four wheels for stability.

Different in the initial part, the sides also differ in the area near the drive wheels. Mainly by the sharp decline in its line to the end zone, the style of the McLaren. Right here you can glimpse the low leakage design with F10 ended this season, and designed by Adrian Newey to Red Bull.

Although the double horn is prohibited in 2011, it is assumed that all these leaks blowers teams remain if only because this solution has been shown to contribute to the extraction of air from the rear, increasing the downforce on the rear. This area is fairly important new aerodynamic triangular element, which is configured as an important element in the new car.

The air guide, key
From here, just look up to find the news that could characterize the Ferrari 2011. The FIA is loaded twice F Duct diffuser and rear wing betting on a mobile phone and is in the area where Cavallino technicians should make a difference with solutions never seen before in this sport. What is it? "Bearing in mind that to be clear about the use of the rear wing will have to wait until the first races of 2011, it is clear that their exploitation with the kers, engineers expect even greater benefits with duct F.

This talk of a standard car fitted with the classic spine, but if the latter finally apply a subsequent air guiding element, which could be triangular placed after the entry of air into the engine-double as a spectacular wing could accelerate the flow directed to the rear wing. This new flap communicate with the mobile-upper rear wing, so to speak, but has not yet been determined if they can touch each other or not. In any case, would use to fund the new regulations, flying straight at Ferrari.

With numbers in hand, if they can win 50 or 60 horsepower for 6.7 seconds per lap with kers, the adoption of mobile rear wing and the flow guide can also bring an increase of over 100 hp. Very respectable figures would place primacy Ferrari.

In fact this letter could be hidden until the final preseason test of time not to let that be copied, but if successful, would be one of those elements to copy, this time by rivals.

i'll belief that article when i see it as a real car...
why would ferrari allready give away so much about their car if they are trying to be innovative and new?
they usually try to hide every little thing on those cars as long as they can, so i see no reason to belief this article (for now)

I know this is off topic but save a few pennies on the Christmas DVD

and a little of our history

[Salvador Dali]

I have a question if someone has an answer. Some years ago Jordan had a different air intake on the sidepods. It had much less drag but people were saying that they had / will have issues with cooling. Back then air intake holes were HUGE. Now they are small compared to that time. I know KERS need some sort of cooling too but would this kind of air intake be any good now?

Here is a picture so you can see what I mean...




Thx for any info...

The new Ferrari in 2011 has passed the FIA crash test.
The crash test was held at the research center of the town of Bollate last Friday, a center recognized by the FIA.

Good news.

...that is VERY good news and i trully hope that we'll be the pace setters come Bahrain Quali...

And knowing Ferrari they won't really show their hand straight away come the first set of tests in Circuito Ricardo Tormo, or for that matter they probably won't REALLY show their pace all along winter testing....

they'll keep all of us fans tensed and stressed up until QUALI time in Bahrain when we'll BLOW the doors off the competition by our RAW performance....

BECAUSE WE ARE FERRARI, WE NEVER GIVE UP, WE TAKE DEFEAT VERY SEREAUSLY AND WITH THAT IN MIND WE'LL SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD WHAT WE'RE MAD OF IN 2011...

2011 Ferrari passes monocoque crash tests

Ferrari's 2011 chassis has passed a sequence of crucial crash tests, according to Italian media reports.

The mandatory monocoque tests reportedly took place under FIA guidelines and in the presence of an official observer at the CSI technical facility in Bollate, near Milan.

The reports cited rumours that the outcome of the tests was a relief to Ferrari's Aldo Costa-led design team, due to fundamental differences between the F10 and its successor.

A key difference, said the reports, is in the new monocoque's actual construction and composite materials, which are more extreme for 2011.

Ferrari's crash test chief Davide Terletti reportedly investigated a crack that opened on the surface of the monocoque, but the detail was not enough to cause the chassis to fail the tests.

The reports said other parts of the 2011 car will be crash tested shortly.

Ferrari is using new materials in 2011 car. New materials can recover original positions after several conditions and this can be an interesting investigation field in F1. Last year RedBull front wing was flexing but it passed all FIA's tests. These new intelligent materials can be the future key in F1.

Excellent. Glad of the changes. F10 was hideous.

[Jose Lorca]

This looks very promising for Ferrari in 2011. I predict Alonso will continue to get Grand Chelems.

Let us hope so. Massa, too.

[Grillo]

We want the best car in 2011 and the only way we can achieve that is by working hard and taking risks.

Will the F11 or F2011 be a title challenger?

Yes it will!!!

[burak karakutuk]

we are waiting for the new season patiently.the new ferrari will have durability,competitive,fast and the best car

Yeah I heard about this and it's got me excited for the first time in a while. Can't wait for it to be unveiled and for the testing. Hope it develops nicely into a championship winner.

[raylinds]

Exciting news- I can't wait to see the new car!

[Schumyboy83]

Whats the realise date?

Whats the realise date?

last week of January; they said between 25-31, so any of those days....
i can HARDLY wait to see the new single seater...that hopefully is gonna BLOW away all the competition
