Ferrari 2013: will it be like this?

New rumors about Ferrari 2013 Formula 1, Ferrari F2013 or F1 2013 barring any surprises. The new Prancing Horse car will be officially presented on Friday but the Spanish newspaper Marca has published a rendering accompanied by rumors about the main innovations of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa's new weapon.

The step will almost certainly disappear, hidden by a fairing permitted by the FIA ​​this year (but not mandatory). However the front end should be not too different from the F2012 with a rather square nose tip combined with the high nose. At the presentation the car will, as per tradition, be without the definitive wings which will only be seen in the tests.

The adoption of the pull rod suspension at the front has been confirmed, a courageous choice in 2012 and which could be copied this year by other top teams.

Most significant changes in the central area of ​​the car. The water and oil tanks have been redesigned, as have the radiator masses, repositioned to improve aerodynamic efficiency towards the rear where Ferrari technicians intervened to try to maximize the Coanda effect of the exhausts to obtain more aerodynamic load. Possible adoption of a passive double-DRS.
