Ferrari unveils 2006 F1 Contender

Ferrari unveils 2006 F1 Contender

Aldo Costa, creator of the 248 F1, reflected on Byrne's role and the characteristics of the car in detail. He declared that: "it was mainly to do with the V8 engine and we imposed a radical change from both a mechanical and aerodynamic point of view. The aerodynamics are still at a preliminary stage and will be until the first race of the season."

"As regards the chassis, this is totally new, above all in the center section. We decided on this in order to optimize the weight distribution and lighten the entire structure. The same goes for the suspension, especially in the completely redesigned rear end."

“The transmission too is all new and also the differential. In building these two new elements in particular, we had to pay close attention to the characteristics of the V8. The greater vibrations generated by the engine brought more initial problems".
