2008 Ferrari F1 Car

Ferrari has just launched their new Formula 1 car for this season. Current world champion, Kimi Raikkonen and his teammate, Felipe Massa will try to get the best results in a new car, which has a lot of modifications, like the new SECU (Standard Electronic Control Unit), gearbox rules (must now be used for four consecutive events), safety (higher side protection around the driver’s helmet), materials (limit to type of composites that can be used) and the much talked about loss of traction control. Aerodynamicly the car has been totally revised and will be totally changed again before the season starts in March at the Australian Grand Prix.
