Ferrari designer expects tough test in Malaysia

"Ferrari chief designer, Nikolas Tombazis says the Malaysian Grand Prix will be a much sterner test of the F1 field than the season-opening race in Australia. The main challenge is to keep the car's major components cool, while still maintaining its aerodynamic integrity.

"Some parameters are very predictable so the engine side of cooling and how much you need to open up your bodywork depending on your radiator size is very predictable and fairly feasible to calculate with a good degree of precision," said Tombazis. "Unless you have underestimated the heat generated by the engine, in theory you should not have to open up the bodywork in an excessive way. You will see we won't have any excessive openings in Malaysia."
