Indeed, and just last year we had Red Bull and Mercedes with very different cars that were very closely matched over the season.Emag wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 12:08As mentioned prior in a "mini" debate, there is usually more than one way of getting things right. Back in 2017-2018, Mercedes and Ferrari couldn't be more different, yet they were very competitive on different areas.JPBD1990 wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 12:01I know this is not a comparison thread so I will make one post about it only.
The absolute juxtaposition of the merc vs Ferrari concept makes me worry. One simply has to, based on recent years, assume Mercedes’ have got it right or near enough, which by extension means Ferrari have not.
In terms of technically, it just seems every other team has prioritised air over the floor and diffuser much, much more.
We just have to wait and see, pointless in trying to speculate what will work and will not just by looking at the cars.
Seeing what they copied from the AMR22 in a week, I would not be surprised if a front wing similar to the W13 will be ready to the shakedown in Barcelona, if it suits them

btw, the floor looks flat, almost no rakeThe pointed nose tip follows the downward dip of the mainplane’s central portion, which will feed airflow to the underside of the nose and then onwards to the floor and sidepods. The nose is also constructed in a way that allows the Ferrari engineers to make changes throughout the course of the season without the need to pass another crash structure.
As others mentioned, there always are different routes to success. And 2017 is the best example why you shouldn’t necessarily be worried. Back then Ferrari shocked everyone with a unique sidepod concept and it turned out to be the best car aerodynamically.JPBD1990 wrote: ↑18 Feb 2022, 12:01I know this is not a comparison thread so I will make one post about it only.
