Ferrari 248 F1 2006The presentation new Ferrari has done without pathos, the Italian command has easy presented a novelty . The habitual annual index has given way to number of the project and F2005 has replaced not F2006, and Ferrari 248 F1 - quite in corporate style, but nevertheless for the Formula 1… Jean Todt: “we have a halter for cautious optimism, but I will refrain from forecasts. 248 F1 - the good car, is the big step forward, I hope it will help Ferrari to forget about disappointments of last year, but prior to the beginning of a season before all participants of the championship will appear in equal conditions, it is difficult to judge our contenders could achieve what. No problems with motivation are present and cannot be. To recede the amicable command, the good car and strong racers is no place, at us, Ferrari will make everything to return on top”. The designer 248 F became Aldo Kosta. After failures of last season some journalists have hastened to write off all on Коsta which actively participated in the project, but the command has entrusted the Italian engineer the new project and 248 F1 became the first car which from the beginning up to the end developed Коsta. Aldo Kosta: “Because of failures in a season of 2005 we have early enough begun work on the project and it is possible to say with confidence that 248 F1 is absolutely new car. Having constructed the chassis under the eight-cylinder motor we have made radical enough changes to mechanics and aerodynamics, having achieved the best distribution of masses and bigest efficiency. New aerodynamic elements still pass check in laboratory and before the first race of a season we become witnesses of serious changes, and as to the chassis - we have completely reconsidered an average part of the car and a back suspension. The transmission, differential have been developed anew, proceeding from characteristics of motor V8 which vibrations have forced engineers to search for non-standard decisions “. At traditional press conference Aldo Kosta, Ross Brown and R. Bern was made by some policy statements and have answered questions of journalists… At first R. Bern declared, that its role in a command has changed. Henceforth it the adviser of all new projects Ferrari, including road cars. After that statements three leading engineers have presented the new car… Ross Brown: “In the middle of last season we have understood, that we can not participate in struggle for a victory and have concentrated on the new project, having paid special attention to completion of aerodynamics and adaptation to the new motor. Despite obvious progress which recently have achieved in Bridgestone, loss of power of the motor will affect time of passage of a circle. Cars will be more slowly, in a case with Ferrari we expect to lag behind no more, than for 1-2 seconds last year’s results. In a season of 2006 cooperation with Bridgestone will be more productive, the Japanese rubber is used by four commands so we can compare and do breedings”. In the morning, before presentation Michael Schumacher has passed 40 circles, and posed for photographers against the new car, having told about the impressions from Ferrari 248 F1 in the afternoon… Michael Schumacher: “Weather you will not name optimum for tests, nevertheless in the morning I have passed almost forty circles without any problems. All says that we have prepared the good, competitive car, my first sensations coincide with command expectations, but for a definitive estimation let’s wait nevertheless the season beginnings”. Filipe Mass: “the Victory - the main task of any racer and for the first time in a life I have signed the contract from one of really strong, leading commands of the Formula 1. To me only 24 years, I did not think, that so early to a smog to receive so flatter offer, now it is necessary to prove to a command, that this contract is signed knowingly. My first problem - to rise on a podium, but I am assured that new car Ferrari will allow me to win in Gran At”.
