[What's Burning?]

Another report indicating the F11 has some sort of interconnected suspension. It's in Spanish, but essentially it's saying the F11 will have some method of balancing loads across the 4 wheels.

Lots of benefits to this, but, two that stand out to me, the longitudinal benefit adding grip to braking and accelerating, also, by keep the floor flat the areos should work better.

That report must be from the French region of Spain, I could only make about half of it.

And ride height control of a full/empty fuel tank

You'd think anything this revolutionary Ferrari would never want to have it leak out so I smell some one upsmanship.

Oui, très français - the comments are quite entertaining as well. Like saying: well the 2CV

already had an interconnected suspension, thus, "another sacred novelty just reinvented by F1"

Oh I miss Louis de Funès

News: their new car is going to be called the F150. Hopefully, for their sake, it's not as cumbersome and bulky as it's namesake...!

Maranello, 25 January – F150: that’s the name of the new car which will compete in this year’s Formula 1 World Championship and which Ferrari will unveil this coming Friday at Maranello, as part of an event which will be broadcast live on RAI 2 and on Ferrari.com.

The choice of name stems from Ferrari’s desire to pay tribute to this year’s one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Unification of Italy. The placement of the “Tricolore” Italian flag as part of the car livery will therefore have even more significance in 2011.

“Ferrari is an expression of Italian excellence, talent and creativity,” declared President Luca di Montezemolo. “All the men and women who put so much effort and passion into their work at Maranello share the pride and responsibility of representing our country around the world and it is in this spirit that we chose to dedicate this car to an event that is so important for the whole of Italy.”

The 2011 version?

[spankyham]

Big day tomorrow - can't wait. Hope they've got enough bandwidth dedicated for the launch.

For sure it won't be sporting either the new front or rear wing, they will be mod'd 2010 units.
We should be able to see the push-rod (I think they'll introduce that).
The nose high and flat scalloped out below a la RB
Will those winglet thingys be there on the fin?

Can't wait, roll on tomorrow

It's good to see such hope and optimism returning to the Tifosi. You're an inspiration to us all Spanky!

As a further explanation of the 2011 Ferrari car name, you need to say the name in its native language, Italian. So the correct designation is:-
F Uno Cinquanta
and, as it's name for the 150 years of Republic an R will be added to the end of the name, making it the:-
F Uno Cinquanta R
The first one will be known as the "Mother".

Let's look at the bright side, at least they didn't name it Ferrari Nova.

Why should it be pronounced one fifty if it stands for one hundred fifty? So, logically it would be pronounced F cento cinquanta. But then again, Ferrari tends to defy logic
