Ferrari 2009 Formula Car - F60

Finally Ferrari has unveiled their new Ferrari F60 for the 2009 Formula One season. The F60 name is a homage to Ferrari’s 60th consecutive season competing in the Formula One championship, which is basically right from the start, and is the only team to do so for each and every season.

The car looks bizarre as usual, as will all the 2009 race cars, but the car’s saving grace is its sexy red colour. Some changes has made to the car thanks to the 2009 regulations on aerodynamics. From the photos, we can notice that the long front wheel, a short and high rear wing, sidepod-mounted mirrors, and slick Bridgestone tyres. What’s out of sight is the Kinetic Energy Recovery System developed together with Magneti Marelli, a refined suspension system, and a new Brembo brake system.

The large front wing has a flap that is driver-adjustable to reduce the loss of front downforce when following other cars. Hopefully this will promote overtaking.
