Problematic F1 Cars - 2009 Ferrari F60 

At the time, some of us thought that Spa 2009 would be Kimi's final race win

In the last 8 races Räikkönen outscored every driver except Hamilton. What a weird championship it was.

To be fair, Ferrari was so deep in the 2008 championship fight with Lewis and McLaren that they could not fully devote their resources early into the 2009 project. And because they ran with KERS that year it made it very difficult to implement a double diffuser into the F60. Considering the external factors they could not control, they did not have much a chance for 2009.

This isn't event bad compared to the notorious 2014 Ferrari F1. The car that can oversteer and understeer almost at the same time😂

the 08-09 change in car appearance was so jarring, it looked like they had regressed a decade in technology.

>Season takes place on Ferrari's 80th anniversary >Is called the F60 Enzo Ferrari is turning around in his grave

Great video with excellent research, presentation and editing. Definitely earned a sub

RB13 was a flop too. Jordan in 2000. All the Jags hahaha - Prost

This is an amazing video! Short, sweet and informative! Keep at it!

This guy needs more subs!

I believe that F60 was all that the evolution of the concept started around 2003 (iirc) could bring. they could not squeeze any more bit of performance from that starting design and it could not be evolved to be enough competitive with the new regulations

1:20 they also helped continue Ferrari’s dominance in 2003 with mid season tyre changes that effectively won them the championship

good video. Would just add that they were in a mad development race till the last corner of the last gp the year before. The whole spy gate situation didnt help either. Also, if the whole Piquet crashgate had come out when it should (Bernie has since admitted he knew all along) then Timo Glock and his slicks would have been irrelevant.

Kimi won in that car. It's mental.

Love this content, keep it up 🙏

This is great thanks man can I suggest the 2000 or 2001 Jordan and Benettons or the 1998/,9 prost and arrows cars

Aside from a lack.of refinement in the aerodynamics, a big problem with the F60 was the driveability of the car. Unlike McLaren, the only other team to record a win (two in their case) with KERS, Ferrari mounted the Motor Generator Unit and Energy Store for the system under the fuel tank. On paper, this kept the heavy weight of the KERS equipment as low in the car as possible. But in reality, the car was unpredictable to drive as the centre of gravity varied depending in the fuel load. While Massa and Raikkonen could cope with the characteristics, as you'd expect from two high quality drivers, the awful injury for Massa in Hungary and the ban on in season testing led to the driveability issues coming to the fore. Long time Ferrari test driver, Luca Badoer, after Michael Schumacher ruled himself out due to a neck injury, was drafted in for the following race in Valencia. What little onboard footage of him at the wheel of the F60 exists, shows how unprepared he was for stepping up with no chance to drive the car before Valencia. The result was in both Valencia and Spa, Badger had the unfortunate distinction of being the first Ferrari driver to qualify and finish last for races on pure pace. But even when he was replaced by the star driver from the Belgian Grand Prix, Giancarlo Fisichella, the third driver of the #3 Ferrari didn't qualify better than 14th for the rest of 2009 from Monza to Abu Dhabi

The car was noncompetitive because Ferrari had been used to test their developments on track which was mostly abolished by 2009, and their computer simulation technology was light years behind Red Bull's.

Great video, such an underrated channel with only 45 subs. Hope you'll be successful very soon

Is it a coincidence that the 2009 car began performing much better when Ferrari had to listen to Kimi when developing the car? Mid-Lipe was never built to be a champ

They have still not recovered since 2009.

1:48 well in 2007 they didn't win by a lot at least until McLaren was disqualified, Raikonnen won by 1 point over both the two mclaren drivers, mclaren lead the constructors but then due to some scandals McLaren the team ended up getting 0 points for the season.

Nice video really waiting for the next one!

Great video, but 2010 car was "competitive" for only Fernando, i think he was in his prime that specific year.

Damn massa hit that wall HARD. How did he not break his wrists too??? Look at how violently he hit while holding onto the wheel. I know he had MAJOR head trauma…. I’m assuming it knocked him out so he probably unconscious when he hit the wall…. And that probably saved his life TBH

underrated channel

Hey! I am one of your first subscribers. Can you do the 2019 Williams car next. God it’s gonna be a long video

You have alot of potential. Be sure to remember me when you make it!

Hey dude this was a pretty good video keep it up

Great Video Keep it up with this Good work :)

Cars are problematic when they are slow but sexy

Man, how do you only have 130 subscribers?

Great vid man👍

keep up the good work, great great video!!!

Nice vid, subscribed

great vid!

There was no wheelbase regulations in 2009 (or in any year up to 2022). If cars were shorter, it was for performance reasons. Also, Massa was hit by a spring, not a shock absorber. Your description of Ferrari's changes in F60 conflates the changes forced by regulations with those decided by Ferrari. It was not Ferrari that decided to remove much of the center element from front wing, it was FIA. All cars were like that.

For a first time great video

the no tyre change rule was stupid

To my eyes one of the best looking Grand Prix cars of all time

Didn't know that the F60 was faster than the 08 car, I thought the 2009 regs slowed down the cars, like 2022 regs. A little feedback, maybe talk a little bit slower when you are talking about one thing for long. Otherwise I like what you are doing, good luck

Nice description, the last one 😂 You know there are tags for that by the way, not that you should stop doing it

Cant wait till you get big bro, im sure of it!

Nice channel!

A poor car when it came to results, and was a catastrophic failure considering its championship-winning predecessors, the F2007 (WDC/WCC) and F2008 (WCC). The F60 could be seen as a stripped down F2008, equipped with KERS and adapted to the 2009 regulations. The car initially lacked any of the novelties that defined '09 season. Was this down to lack of imagination due to Ferrari being so heavily committed to developing the F2008 right until the final race of '08 season(?) The F60 was also subject of a relentless development campaign that saw many micro upgrades that allowed Massa and Raikkonen to get decent results, with the race win in Belgium being the highlight. The Ferrari F10 benefited from this development until it too was caught out by the novelties of 2010 season, and was left playing catch up to Red Bull. Nevertheless, the Ferrari F60 has aged amazingly well. The clean, sleek and elegant lines of the car contrast heavily with the cars that followed. It is far and away the best looking Ferrari of the (09-16) 'skinny wing' era.

The way Americans say "Ferrari" is so funny, "Fuhrawree"

You said Ferrari won both 2007 championships by a lot. But Kimi won by 1 pt. and McLaren was DQ'd afterward. Is that wining by a lot? Great video nonetheless.

How on earth was this Video recommended? From a creator with 26 Followers? I liked it and will follow you from now on 😊

How ever you look at it they still got paid

Great video.

how do you have only 49 subs imma make it 50. Nice Content ❤‍🔥

I think the 2020 Ferrari would be interesting to look at. I have always wondered why it was so bad.

Can you talk about the rb11?

Great video for firt time

2007 they won the drivers by 1 point and lost the constructors Your comment there wasn’t correct otherwise great video

Ferrari builds mediocre cars at best most of the time

you should do the 2009 McLaren

Who forgot the BMW F109

How about the 2009 McLaren? A very poor car in it's own right.

The video is dope

Bro… please… It’s called a front wing ffs

subbed ;)

sorry felipe

One of the most Beautiful car though no

Oh god you need to stop saying splitter

😭 *Promo sm*

Speak slower.
