     Comments    

The F2003-GA is the forty-ninth single seater to be built by Ferrari to compete in the Formula One World Championship. The basic design is unchanged from that of the F2002.

Attention has been paid to optimising aerodynamic efficiency in addition to further lowering the car’s centre of gravity. All areas of the car have been completely redesigned in an effort to get the maximum performance out of the new 052 engine and the Bridgestone tyres.

The chassis is new, both in terms of the design and construction, saving weight and improving structure over the previous F2002 chassis. The bodywork, radiators, exhausts and the rear have been redesigned, leading the further increases in aerodynamic performance.

The mechanically operated power steering is also a new design. The front and rear suspension elements have been revised, to maximise the performance of the Bridgestone tyres and to improve the efficiency of the aerodynamic package.

New materials have been introduced to reduce the weight and size of the engine and transmission. Like its predecessor, the 052 engine is load-bearing and mounted longitudinally.

While maintaining the same position and longitudinal mounting, the gearbox is a completely new design, achieving both a reduction in dimensions and weight. The gearbox is cast in titanium with seven speeds (plus reverse) and is electro-hydraulically operated with a sequential shift. In keeping with a trend initiated by Ferrari and now almost universally adopted in Formula One, the car is fitted with a high level exhaust system, the same layout as seen on the F2002.

The car’s centre of gravity is lower than that of its predecessor, producing a further improvement in weight distribution both for chassis and engine. Ferrari believes that with the F2003-GA it has taken a step forward maximising the performance of innovative materials and design whilst utilising advanced quality control techniques and philosophies to ensure safety and design.
