New aero parts tested this week in Spain


As we head back into Europe now, the developments for the F2007 start to come thick and fast. With testing taking place in Barcelona this week it was time for Ferrari to try out some new parts. A good aero package on this circuit gives good results and Ferrari haven't been short on new pieces.

A new front wing has been introduced where the end parts of the main plane now slant more upwards towards the endplates.

The engine cover has had an overhaul and now includes different gills which are situated further back on the bodywork. The cover itself does not slant down as much and resembles more like the BMW Sauber engine cover.

The sidepods have been redesigned and the reason for that is that the oil and water radiators have been resized and are smaller

The aero fins which are situated just off the sidepods, near the wing mirrors have been doubled in length.

It all seems to be good though as Ferrari have topped both 2 days of testing so far.
