Testing at Barcelona

Testing at Barcelona

http :// www .autosport,com /news/report.php/id/66639

Massa and Ferrari plainly have no trouble going quickly.. :)

From the article:

"All drivers, except BMW's Nick Heidfeld and Toyota's Timo Glock, sampled
the new tyres today.

All the running done with slicks is outside the agreed testing mileage."

Pos Driver Team Time Laps
1. Massa Ferrari (B) 1:18.339 77
2. Wurz Honda (B) 1:21.059 75
3. de la Rosa McLaren-Mercedes (B) 1:21.566 113
4. Heidfeld BMW-Sauber (B) 1:21.679 105
5. Piquet Renault (B) 1:22.125 69
6. Coulthard Red Bull-Renault (B) 1:22.197 59
7. Nakajima Williams-Toyota (B) 1:22.431 72
8. Glock Toyota (B) 1:22.590 92
9. Liuzzi Force India-Ferrari (B) 1:22.846 91


Ferrari took the opportunity to test its long mooted new nose. It's said to
enhance the front wing's performance and improve airflow to the rear by
allowing airflow to pass through the nose.

If you can't see what it does this should help.

I came across this discussion a couple of months ago, which I found
interesting.

Great stuff, innovation.

Good site that, I spend some time lurking there.

Now, I'm on iffy ground here but aren't the aero rules changing next year?
Something about clearing away all the 'silly' ad-ons? If so, this innovation
looks like it could be well with in those rules. So, either Ferrari have a
nice jump on the opposition for 2009, or they are a bit nuts for unveiling
it now. Or, they are worried about the opposition for this year.

Or is everything about that completely wrong !!!!?????

A nod to the ancients, the nose-mounted radiator era.
