| 2009 FERRARI F60 (No, Ferrari Enzo is not the F60)
Scroll down for huge pix
F60
The F60 is the fifty fifth single-seater built by Ferrari specifically to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship. The name of the car was chosen to celebrate the Scuderia's participation in all 60 editions of the Formula 1 World Championship since 1950 to date. The project, which goes by the internal code name of 660, represents the Scuderia's interpretation of the regualtions that come into force this year, which includes very many new elements.
CHASSIS
- Carbon-fibre and honycomb composite structure
- Ferrari longitudinal gearbox Limited-slip differential
- Semiautomatic sequential electronically controlled gearbox -quick shift
- Number of gears 7 + Reverse
- Brembo ventilated carbon-fibre disc brakes
- Independent suspension, push-rod activated torsion springs front and rear
- Weight (which water, lubricant and drive) 605 kg
- BBS Wheels (front and rear) 13"
- Kinetic energy recovery system by Ferrari in cooperation with Magneti Marelli
- The bodywork can no longer carry the slotted apertures that had characterised the Ferrari cars over the past few years
FRONT WING
The front wing, which has a neutral central profile, common to all, is developed mainly on its side elements and is much wider than in the past: the bodywork can no longer carry the slotted apertures that had characterised the Ferrari cars over the past few years. The combination of changes naturally led the inital design phase down radically different routes when it came to the side pods and protection components: the apertures have been reduced in size and moved rearward, while the upper and rear elements are larger to aid the exit of air.
REAR WING
The rear wing is higher and narrower than in the past; the diffuser has been moved rearward. The combination of changes naturally led the inital design phase down radically different routes when it came to the side pods and protection components: the apertures have been reduced in size and moved rearward, while the upper and rear elements are larger to aid the exit of air.
ENGINE and TRANSMISSIONS
One of the most significant changes in the 2009 regulations is the possibility of using a kinetic engery recovery system (KERS). The KERS on the F60 was designed by Ferrari in collaboration with Magneti Marelli and is centrally mounted ont he engine under the rear part of the chassis; its management has involved all departments of the Gestione Sportiva. The transmission has been redesigned to optimise the aerodynamic efficiency of the car. The gearbox casing is again made in carbon and is still positioned longitudinally. The gearbox iss fitted with a speed shifter. There is also a new braking system, with callipers designed by Brembo. Other important rule changes for this years stem form the work of FIA and FOTA (Formula One Teams Association) aimed at producing a signifact reduction int he teams' operational costs. As far as the engine is concerned, which retains its longitudinal mounting in the F60 and continue as as a load bearing structure, the rules now state that a total of eight engines may be used over the 17 Grand Prix race weekends on the calendar. Accordingly, the maximum permitted engine speed has been reduced to 18,000 rpm and the distance target for each unit is now around 2,500 kilometres. Furthermore, modifications have been made to the inlet trumpets, the position of the injectors and the configuration of the exhausts. The changes to the regulations mean that, on the reliability front, Shell has played a fundamental role in defining the lubricants for both the engine and gearbox.

Since when did FIA favor Ferrari?

Will be interesting to see how teams react to having more tire grip but less downforce.

"Ferrari Enzo is not the F60"
Why would you say that? isn't the chassis code of the Ferrari Enzo, called F60?

since this will be called the F60, i guess there wont be a road legal successor to the F40 and F50 named F60?

Were the FIA favoring Mclaren when they disqualified the team but let the drivers (who drove a car that was influenced by stolen Ferrari data) continue to compete for WDC?
How about the current (2008) point system? Why did they change from 10-6-4-3-2-1 to 10-8-6-5-3-2-1?
