2007 Ferrari F1 F2007

The F2007 is the fifty third single-seater built by Ferrari specifically to compete in the Formula One World Championship.

The F2007 chassis has been significantly modified when compared to last year's 248 F1. The design was revised to accommodate a new front suspension that represents a major conceptual innovation, mainly in terms of aerodynamics. The rear of the car is much narrower, taking advantage of the more sculpted shape of the gearbox housing. The gearbox itself, which is still mounted longitudinally, is fitted with an innovative quick-shift system.

Overall, all modifications, and mainly those concerning safety, have led to a significant increase in the weight of the car, in the region of just under ten kilograms.

In accordance with the regulations which came into force this year, the basic structure of the engine remains the same as the one homologated at the end of last season.

The technical partners have played an important role during the development stages of the F2007. Ferrari and Shell engineers have been working closely together to ensure the car is equipped with the best formulations of Shell V-Power fuel and Shell Helix lubricant to get the most power from the car.
