Ferrari launch their new car for the 2011 season. At first glance not a lot has changed from the 2010 car but the F150 has a new braking system designed in collaboration with Brembo. 2011 sees the welcome return of Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) in Formula 1's attempt to reduce its carbon footprint.
Ferrari say that the majority of improvements have been made to allign the F150 with the changing regulations concerning the banning of the double diffuser, the blown rear wing and the use of apertures in the front part of the floor.
One introduction is the use of an hydraulically controlled adjustable rear wing.
The aerodynamic package sported at the cars launch will differ on the grid in Bahrain - Ferrari have chosen to concentrate on mechanical improvements on last years car so far during the winter break.
A Historical Note
From Ferrari's press release:
"The F150 is the fifty-seventh single-seater built by Ferrari specifically to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship. The Maranello marque chose the
name as a tribute and celebration of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Unification of Italy."
