Ferrari: F2008 to change before Melbourne
Scuderia Ferrari unveiled yesterday the all new F2008, but the Technical Director of the Maranello-based team, Aldo Costa, stated during the launch that the single-seater will be quite different when this season’s inaugural Grand Prix at Melbourne in Australia will take place.
Aldo Costa: “We worked hard on aerodynamics. From an aerodynamics point of view the car is completely different except for those elements that at this debut are temporarily identical to the old car’s. But the car will go through an evolution and so it will go to the first race with every aerodynamic surfaces re-done.”
“The front and rear wings will be new, while at this debut they are identical to the previous car. The chassis and the sidepods are slimmer. We’ve worked on every aspect of the car to improve its efficiency. We’ve also worked on solving problems we had on certain circuits, like Monte Carlo, Hungary, Canada. We worked on certain aerodynamics aspects that could help us on those particular circuits.”
