Italian media revealed the look of Ferrari's 2020 season car

Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport has published a sketch of Ferrari's race car for the 2020 season. Maranello has the development name "Project 671" for now, and Gazzetta claims that we will see quite changed wings on it, under the red cover however, a hydraulic damping system will be located. The latter is expected to be banned in the 2021 season, when we expect a radical change in the rules. At Ferrari, they hope that their car in the 2020 season, unlike its predecessor, the SF90, will be successful in the first races of the season, as Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc managed to win only after the summer break.

This is what the race cars will look like in 2017

formula 1

Formula One teams have agreed on radical changes to the rules, which should serve us with faster and seemingly more attractive race cars. The details have not yet been finalized, but we present to you what is already clear. The racing cars will have wider front wings in the future. Instead of 1650mm, these will be 1800mm wide, as the front tires will also be wider. The new rules are intended to simplify the front fenders, which have been full of small flaps and elements in recent years, and additional changes are intended to make it easier to track other race cars. Racing cars will generally be 20 centimeters wider, so instead of 1800mm, now 2000mm. The rules will allow even more aerodynamic assistance from the designed elements of the wheel mounting, and a larger area will be allowed for the so-called bargeboard, flaps in front

Introducing this year's McLaren Hondo MP4 / 31

formula 1

Studio photos of this year's McLarn race car appeared online a few moments ago. It shows a taller side safety cell, and the S-duct, a system for reducing drag on the front wing, appears to be hidden in the nose of the car. However, although Woking claimed that they would aim for the narrowest possible rear, at first glance it does not seem that this would be any narrower than last year. Previously, we would say it is even slightly wider. The official presentation of the team will follow today around noon, when more information about the car itself will be known. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOJDROEZ0p8

Renault was the first to present this year's car and its colors

formula 1

The Renault factory team, which is returning to Formula One tracks this year, has unveiled the colors in which their race car will be clad this year. It was officially considered that this year's car will also be presented, but Renault later confirmed that it is only a presentation car, which is otherwise similar to the car they will compete with this year. As well, the presented color scheme may be changed by the first races. However, the French have confirmed the racing line-up, which, unlike the look and colors of the car, is unlikely to change. Jolyon Palmer will make his race debut with Kevin Magnussen, a former McLaren racer, in place of Pastor Maldonado. At the presentation, the team confirmed that Bob Bell will take over as technical director.

A racetrack in Mexico faster than Monza

formula 1

Formula One race cars have made a comeback in Mexico after 23 years of absence, and the newly built facility has proven to reach higher speeds than Italy's Monza, which has so far been considered the fastest racetrack on the race calendar. The Rodriguez brothers' racetrack is located at 2200 meters above sea level, where the air is much rarer than in Monza, resulting in less resistance to the race cars, making it easier to reach higher speeds. Engineers had to “wind up” turbochargers when they arrived at the racetrack so that the engines would still be as powerful as elsewhere at lower oxygen concentrations in the air. The highest speed in the qualifications was reached in Monza by Sergio Perez, who drove at 354.6 km / h, and already in the first free practice in Mexico, Mercedes racing cars drove more than 360 km / h. &

Haas F1 has already introduced its race car

formula 1

The announcement that the American team will join the Formula One caravan was received with enthusiasm around the world, and with some disbelief after the "tension" with the USF1 GP team. But an old acquaintance of the NASCAR racing series, Gene Haas, has already put his race car on display. The race car is on display in Belgium at Hass's HaasTech company. In any case, this time we believe more that we will see the American team, as the previously mentioned USF1 team managed to show only the front wings to the world before the collapse.

Haas bought Marussa's factory

formula 1

Gene Hass, who plans to arrive in a Formula 1 caravan in the 2016 season, has set out on a hunt for the remains of the Marussia team. He had already participated in Marussa’s auction, but the funds were mostly sold to higher bidders. The factory in Banbury, which he has now purchased, was not part of the auction, and its purpose is to use it as a European base, while the team is otherwise located in North Carolina. A report on the factory’s recent purchase adds that Haas is also expected to have Marussa’s data and models for the 2015 race car.

formula 1

If you’re a true Kimi Raikkonen fan and your boss has proven himself with a generous Christmas present, you’ll be able to compete in the international auction on January 10 for the race car that took Finca to the gates of Formula One. It is a 2000 Tattoo Formula Renault, bought the same year by the British Formula Renault team, Manor Motorsport. With him, the then relatively unknown Raikkonen won a staggering seven of the ten races and celebrated the championship title. The car was overhauled in 2005 and houses the original powertrain. The price is not yet known. In addition to the aforementioned race car, the Coys auction house will sell a number of other interesting and rare vehicles at the auction on January 10.

Villeneuve offended by Verstappn's performance

formula 1

Jacques Villeneuve said that the first appearance of 17-year-old Max Verstappn in the formula will be taken as an insult, as all racers, including him, unlike the Dutchman, had to prove themselves much more and prove themselves in many lower categories. "Are they aware at Red Bull that they are going to seat a child in a Formula One car?" wondered the 1997 season champion. "I have no doubt he's fast, but he has no experience. I got into Formula One myself when I was 25 after winning Indy Car. Before you play with the lives of others, you have to learn racing and the role of Formula One is not learning, ”said the universally critical Canadian, who believes the newly adopted age limit of 18 is still too low. "The limit should be at 21. You should get into Formula One as a winner with a lot of experience. F1 is not a place where
