The Ferrari SF70H was the 50th Formula 1 race car of the Scuderia Ferrari . The team contested the 2017 Formula 1 World Championship with the vehicle .
Presentation and name
The SF70H was presented in Fiorano on February 24, 2017 ; the presentation was broadcast live on the internet.
The name of the car is made up of the abbreviation of the team name, SF, the number 70 as a reference to the company's 70th anniversary and the abbreviation for hybrid electric vehicle .
Technology and development
Like all Formula 1 vehicles of 2017, the SF70H is a rear-wheel drive monoposto with a monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) . There are also many other parts of the vehicle, including the body parts and the steering wheel are made of CFRP. The brake discs are also made from a composite material reinforced with carbon fibers.
The SF70H is the successor to the Ferrari SF16-H . As the technical regulations changed significantly for the 2017 season, most of the vehicle has been redeveloped. In order to have resources available for this, the further development of the previous model was stopped early.
With a total width of 2000 mm and a width between the front and rear axles of 1600 mm, the vehicle is 200 mm wider than the previous model. The height is unchanged at 950 mm. Completely new are the front wing , which is now 1800 mm wide instead of 1650 mm, and the rear wing , whose width changes from 750 mm to 950 mm and whose height changes from 950 mm to 800 mm, as well as the diffuser , which now has a total height of 175 mm instead of 125 mm and a width of 1050 mm increased by 50 mm. To improve the air flow to the rear wing, the car has a noticeably large fin on the engine cover. In addition, a wing is attached to the end of this fin .
Is driven from the SF70H Ferrari type 062 , one in center of the vehicle -mounted 1.6 liter V-6 engine with a turbocharger and a 120 kW strong electric motor , so it is a hybrid electric vehicle . The car's sequential gearbox has eight gears. The gear change is triggered by paddles on the steering wheel. The vehicle has only two pedals, an accelerator pedal (right) and a brake pedal (left). Just like many other functions, the clutch , which is only used when starting from a standstill, is operated via a lever on the steering wheel.
Unlike its predecessor, the SF70H is equipped with 305 mm wide front tires and 405 mm wide rear tires from the standard supplier Pirelli , which are mounted on 13-inch wheels. This means that the tires on the front axle and 80 mm on the rear axle are 60 mm wider than in the previous season. This also required the development of new wheel suspensions for the SF70-H.
Like all Formula 1 vehicles since 2011 , the SF70H has a Drag Reduction System (DRS), which reduces the drag of the vehicle on the straights by flattening part of the rear wing if it is allowed to be used. The DRS is also activated with a switch on the steering wheel of the car.
During the first races of the season, camera recordings showed that the front and rear wings as well as the underbody of the SF70H are flexible and thus deform while driving, although the regulations prohibit flexible or movable aerodynamic components.
Painting and sponsorship
The SF70H is mainly painted in red, the front and rear wings and the fin on the engine cover are painted white.
Alfa Romeo , Hublot , Kaspersky Lab , Mahle , Pirelli, Ray-Ban , Santander , Shell and United Parcel Service (UPS) advertised on the vehicle.
