Ferrari type 052
Ferrari type 052 is the name of a racing engine made by the Italian manufacturer Ferrari , which the team used in Formula 1 in the 2003 season . The V10 engine was developed under engine manager Paolo Martinelli.
development
The type 052 was a completely new development. Ferrari had two main goals when developing the Type 052. On the one hand, the performance and drivability of the engine should be improved without reducing the reliability of the predecessor. On the other hand, the engine should be better adapted to the design of the chassis in order to achieve a better weight distribution. The team also hoped that the improved integration would result in a weight saving of 4–5 percent and improved aerodynamics at the rear of the car. In addition to better integration, new materials also resulted in weight savings.
The engine management came from Magneti Marelli .
The specification used at the beginning of the season delivered around 200 revolutions per minute more than its predecessor, the 051.
use
The Type 052 was used by Ferrari in the 2003 season. Ferrari contested the first four races of the season with last year's car F2002 . The type 052 was only used from the fifth race with the debut of the F2003-GA . The reason for this was that the chassis of the F2003-GA was developed around the engine.
