Byrne Outlines F2005 Changes

 Byrne Outlines F2005 Changes

Friday February 25th, 2005

Conducted and provided by Ferrari's press office.

Ferrari's Rory Byrne:

Although the fundamental design philosophy of the F2005 is the same as
previous cars, the changes in bodywork regulations have meant that we
have also had to maximise downforce in order to recover as much as
possible of the 25% we lost initially.

Changes to regulations which now require only one set of tyres to be
used for two qualifying session and the race have meant we have had to
consider tyre life as well as performance so, as usual, many areas of
the car have had to be fundamentally revised in order to make a step in
performance.

I will explain in more details:

1. Aerodynamics

The areas directly affected by the new regulations, eg wings and
diffuser, are obviously all new but even radiator, exhaust and gearbox
layouts have been fundamentally revised to optimise the aerodynamics. In
addition, there are several development items planned to be introduced
during testing in the next month so when it first races it will look
differently in some areas to the car you see here.

2. Transmission

While the transmission internals have been further optimised, the casing
is completely new, both in terms of its shape to optimise the
aerodynamics and its method of construction and use of materials. A
prototype has been successfully tested in the F2004.

3. Chassis

The chassis is completely new, both in terms of shape, which is a result
of the aerodynamic development programme, and in terms of materials used
and design of the structure, in order to achieve a weight saving in
spite of the increased side penetration requirements for 2005.

4. Suspensions, steering and brakes

Both front and rear suspensions have been further optimised to maximise
performance and minimise wear of the Bridgestone tyres. A fundamentally
revised power steering system to enhance driver control in transient
conditions will be tested shortly. More effort than ever before has been
spent on optimising the braking system in order to improve the driver
use and modulation of the brakes during qualifying and the various
stages of the race.

5. Electronics

For the first time, a Ferrari designed and developed data acquisition
system has been installed in the F2005 in order to greatly enhance the
data acquisition and processing. A prototype of the system has been
successfully tested on the F2004.

Aldo Costa has been responsible for the entire F2005 project and I would
like to congratulate him and his team who have carried out the research,
structural calculation and design of the car and met all the objectives
we defined at the start of the project.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone at the Gestione Sportiva for
their contribution in producing the best ever Ferrari Formula 1 car.

Forza Ferrari!


-Bob

Is it me, or do the last few Ferraris always look very long? Longer than
the Renaults or the McLarens for instance.

First things I noticed were the droopy nosecone (which seems to have
become more bulbous and heavy-looking on the underside) and the
sidepods, which seem much less viciously undercut on their leading edges
than most of the 2005 cars, and indeed than those on the F2004.

The rest of the car looks more or less generic Ferrari F-series.

I don't think they're much longer, but it seems that the driver and
engine are located further back in the Ferraris, so the front looks
longer - there's more in front of the driver.

And probably because with the two-race requirement they need to run the
engine a little cooler. Most teams would have had to have gone this
route then.
The front wing is ridiculous. Newey once said that if a car looks

A car looks right when it's winning.
