The new model of Ferrari has been presented/displayed today destined to confront the world-wide championship of F1 of 2003. The new car has occurred him in calling F2003-GA, form that repropone already the classic annual numeration and that in this occasion year abbreviations GA in tribute to the lawyer and honorary president of the Group FIAT Giovanni Agnelli passed away recently.
The concepts base of the project have remained invariable with respect to which already it was in the F2002: it has been continued with the optimization of the aerodynamic efficiency and has been reduced the center of gravity of the single-seater. All the bolide has been reproyectado based on new motor 052 and of the Bridgestone tires that it will equip new born from Maranello. The chassis is new, as much as design that as construction.
The weight has been reduced and the structure of the monocoque has been improved with respect to the previous one. The body, the escapes and the later part have been redesigned as well as the mechanical system of servocontrol. The suspensions have not been seen either outside the global remodeling of the single-seater being adapted to the maximum based on the Bridgestone rubbers.
At constructive level new materials in the production of the propellent and the transmission have been used in order to reduce to weight and volume. Like already he was it his predecessor, new the 052 it has lifting function and it will be mounted in longitudinal form. The change, realized in titanium fusion has seven marches plus the reverse gear and is acted by a sequential electrohydraulic system.
In broad strokes these are the first data that have been developings and that we will extend in continuation as soon as they are available.
Brawn emphasized in the presentation the important paper that the certainty and the effort along with the organization, must to achieve the success. “I have mentioned the certainty because he is one of our strongpoints. But the certainty separately is not sufficient. It is only the base on which to construct the success. The enemy of the certainty is the condescendencia. Of any way fodder that our difficult and first together seasons is a good memory to make see us how fragile, it is the triumph.”
On the matter of the new rules that they will have application in the arc of the Brawn season commented: “The F1 has confronted always new challenges. Numerous investments are made to be competitive. In any case it is interest of all the equipment that the costs become moderate. Thus we will have motors that last everything a weekend and most probably the use of extreme materials will be prohibited. No of these changes will influence in the force ratio but it would help to mainly reduce the basic costs for the small equipment.”
For Brawn there have been few changes in the practical standardses. “There have not been many changes in the practical standardses for the beginning of season 2003. The main one has been the one of the use of system HANS. This system offers numerous advantages concerning security for the pilots. We are working hard to be able to overcome the difficulties that find our pilots but at the moment they are adapting well to the system.”
