Williams will become the next team to follow Red Bull’s lead with the layout of its blown exhaust system.<\/p>\n
After reportedly finding itself a few tenths behind the RB7 in initial testing, Ferrari is believed to have hastily copied the layout that is now being tested in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
A similar upgrade has also been put together for Williams’ FW33.<\/p>\n
“We have played with all the different variations in CFD,” the British team’s technical director Sam Michael is quoted by Auto Motor und Sport.<\/p>\n
“The most efficient solution is Red Bull’s,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
The German report said the FW33’s similar layout will debut on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It is believed that Mercedes’ new layout, also tested for the first time this week, is a variation of both the Red Bull and Renault solutions.<\/p>\n
Ferrari technical boss Aldo Costa denies that the 150 Italia’s new version is a Red Bull copy.<\/p>\n
“This package was planned well in advance,” he insisted.<\/p>\n
True or not, the Italian team has 80 team members in Barcelona this week, including senior engineers Costa, Nicolas Tombazis and Pat Fry.<\/p>\n
