This could just be the German press fed up of writing about Schumacher as I imagine the Italian press would have seized on this first. If true though, Stefano will be looking for a new job. |

Brazilian press wrote a story on this 4 days ago, referring to the Italian La Gazzetta dello Sport: Ferrari com problemas aerodinâmicos no carro de 2010 |

With bablefish it only states that the Italian press printed details of their interpretation of the car which is usually quite accurate and then at the same time the German press printed the above

Also, the Spanish media report that the Ferrari engine uses an average 10 litres more of fuel than Mercedes and Renault, that is about .3 sec. per lap. Another issue for Ferrari? http://www.marca.com/2010/01/17/motor/form...1263749267.html |

With bablefish it appears they are talking about 2009 stats and that Domencelli has had to work with Shell to address the problem (I have another thread about this and so far the official line is they are happy with progress as its not affected performance). What i did pick up though was the new rule demands more of the driver to conserve fuel and this will be a factor for all teams. Sounds more like asking a 100 metre champion runner expected to run a race like a marathon champion runner who has to conserve energy and use it wisely to finish the distance. Next year is going to be hard for drivers who thought nothing of fuel whilst they punished the car round a track. |

That's interesting Flood, but it states Mercedes not Mclaren. Ferrari and Mclaren were the only team with Kers for most of the season. A good stat to see is a direct comparison between Mclaren who had a Mercedes engine and Ferrari to know the real difference. Even the translated article speaks of the difference not having Kers has and that they employed a new head of that department who has more experience of engine performance without Kers. |

Good stats flood. My question is, do all teams uses the same fuel that is under identical specification? Is that due to the engine only or some of both? |

The teams are required to submit a sample of the fuel they intend to use. The FIA specifications are exact in terms of the components and % of the components. However, these guidelines offer some room to innovate. The "footprint" of the fuel is provided by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrophotometry. At each race samples are taken to prove that the fuel matches those samples submitted for approval (pre-season approval). Beyond the science details, your real question is, "do all of the teams use the same fuel." The answer is no. The differences are not known, but each team has has their own recipe. The FIA intends their regs to mandate fuel that has equal properties, but there is no evidence to prove that is in fact true. |

One other thing, P-One has posted all of these charts on TPL on another thread before I posted these here. I hadn't seen that post when I did these, so credit is due to him as well. We both cited the same source. http://the-pit-lane.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=15062&hl= |
