Everything you need to know about Ferrari's new car "F14 T"

Ferrari F14 T

Scuderia Ferrari unveiled their new car ” F14 T” for this season, after giving the fans a chance to name the car.

The Ferrari fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead as both their drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso, are former world champions, sharing three titles between them.

Car details:

Due to the change in regulations, Scuderia’s new challenger is powered by a 1.6 litre, turbo V6 power unit and includes a new look nose. The chassis retains the pull-rod suspension of its F138 predecessor.

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domencali stated: “I think as far as I remember this year the technical challenge is the biggest that we’ve seen in the last 10 years of F1,”

“We have a totally new powertrain, we have a new set of regulations that are very interesting, and which have to be looked at very carefully in depth in order to make sure that we take the opportunity to improve the level of performance. And this is what I’ve asked to all my people here in Maranello.”

Regarding the new ERS-assisted power unit, the team said : “This is one of the key areas where having both power unit and chassis under one roof has been strongly to the benefit of the Scuderia,”

“Having chosen the correct overall level of cooling to supply, packaging the resultant cooler elements and managing the correct airflow to them is something which has absorbed a very large investment of design time to ensure that the F14 T is able to retain the sharply tapered bodywork that allows efficient extraction of down force from the design.”

The team also stated: “Weight control has been an important part of the project from the outset in order to deliver a car with a workable amount of ballast that will permit us to operate and develop the car through the season.”

“Equally important will be the car’s integration with the new tyres that Pirelli is introducing this year. The ability of the F14 T to get the most out of their characteristics will be one of the cornerstones in terms of seeing if our overall efforts will deliver the hoped for results.”

The new car is all set to make its first appearance this week in testing.
