While some other teams were already focused on the development of their machines for the upcoming season, With little more to win, Ferrari decided to stop development of the F60 well ahead of the final race of the season and instead turned their full attention on its successor, the F10. The single biggest revision in the regulations the engineers had to deal with was the ban on re-fueling during the race, so a much larger fuel tank had to be fitted. Considering the huge effect of changing fuel loads on the handling of the car, this was by no means a straightforward job. The designers could work with the room that became available after the removal of the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) unit; the teams had unanimously agreed to abandon engine recovery system for the foreseeable future. One of the bigger problems of the F60 was its poor aerodynamics, so much work was done in this area as well. The nose on the F10 has some clear traits of the highly successful Red Bull design of 2009. The most obvious visual change is the additional white used on both front and rear wing that add some more colour to the predominantly red livery sported by the recent Ferrari Formula 1 Lined up to drive the F10 is Ferrari stalwart Felipe Massa, who will be joined for the first time by two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso.
