Nico Rosberg estimates that ferrari’s car has a big aerodynamic problem, which the repair can go a long time.Video: evening magazine’s F1-expert Jyrki lake grove into a ferrari of the confusing activities of the Chinese GP. The garage has missed the start of the season of bad Mercedes in the shade.
In 2016, the champion of the world Nico Rosberg believes he knows where the ferrari of the difficulties of F1 season at the beginning are due. On the other hand, the German assessment helps to explain also why other people think the Ferrari was on the straight so a lot of its competitors faster.
rosberg’s view, according to ferrari the car has significantly less wing than, for example, Mercedes and Red Bull. This provides the benefits of a straight, but winding portions are mutually really difficult.
the Mercedes is a great favorite at the moment. They look really strong. Ferrari is difficult. They have provided their cars the aerodynamics wrong, Rosberg said the Chinese GP after a Youtube channel.
– They have far too little air resistance, and bend not thus at all sufficient downforce. They lose the curve in a lot of time, which is obviously not the ideal situation, when you should drive the fastest possible lap. The car is incorrectly adjusted.
Add wings
Ferrari said in advance to be strong in the Shanghai track, which is the season of the longest continuous straight line, but in the end it was Mercedes, who conquered china in the front row of the starting grid. This suggests Rosberg says the fact that Ferrari has been trying to make changes in car aerodynamics.
– They are trying to get more rear wings, but their wings weren’t big enough. Ferrari need to produce a wing, but on the other hand, just the rear wings adding is not very effective, because although it will increase downforce, the air resistance increases in the same proportion.
– It is not the right way. The right way is to make use of the car other parts: canards, end plates… These are the things that they need to focus on, but there is a lot of work. A lot of time, which is not a good thing.
Change in Baku?
the F1 season continues at the end of April in Azerbaijan. The baku street circuit is still in Shanghai, the longer the gas in the bottom of the driven piece, where the Ferrari could benefit from the smallest air resistance. The track began – and in the middle is, however, also a lot of slow, street circuit for the characteristic bend.
Ferrari is a strong track, which is much direct. From baku I’m not so sure. There are so many slow corners, where they lose a lot. It is difficult to assess whether it is rail, where they could be above. I like this moment the Mercedes ahead everywhere, even in Barcelona.
according to the Ferrari car does not have any fundamental error. His statement refers, however, to the fact that rosberg’s words may very well be true.
– we have a strong car, but we now see a certain pattern. We can be satisfied with moottorii we, it’s just that we get the performance out of the whole package, Vettel said the Car Bildille.
