V10 Vs. V8
Interesting - read this first.
Now I have read a lot about how the V8 engines are way slower than the V10s of 2005, so I pulled the fastet lap time from Bahrain if 2005 and came up with this - De la Rosa, 1:31.447. Knowing full well there is no way to compare apples to apples here, but the difference in this example is clearly not huge...
Ferrari focus on engine testing with Shell
November 20th 2005, 16:24 GMT
Ferrari continued testing at Bahrain today, focusing on their engine development programme ahead of the 2006 season. Italian Luca Badoer was behind the wheel of a modified F2005 while Spaniard Marc Gene was at the wheel of an F2004 that was fitted with a V8 engine.
Both drivers worked with fuel and lubricants supplier Shell on engine testing as well as with Bridgestone on tyre development. Gene {V8} covered a total of 87 lap with the fastest time of 1:34.807. Badoer {detuned V10} covered a total of 86 laps, with a best time of 1:35.477. The two continue testing tomorrow at the Sakhir circuit.
