Now this is really interesting. We definitely need some higher res photos of this part of the car.

They have an intriguing spine exhaust.. but relative to the ferrari side pods, they have less louvres. Maybe if Ferrari's power and concept really is the way to go, the Haas might be fighting for a podium sometimes?
When speaking about innovations, "no vents" is THE innovation. If Merc, McLaren, maybe RedBull get the concept of heat management right, then we again have F1 and F1.5....this time well visible by the number of crazy venting slits in the bodywork.
So should we close this thread until then?ojir19 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 14:00We have to wait until 1st racebasti313 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 13:54I do not see the innovations you claim.

I don't know.

F-duct? S-duct?
I mean the issue is if Ferrari hands you an engine and cooling package and the radiators are upright and longitudinally orientated...you're going to develop your sidepods from that because you know they found something unusual.
The cameras on the nose are really low, interesting car.
I'm fairly certain they don't hand them radiators as well. They just give them data on cooling requirements.
What are you even talking about? The vents are part of the aerodynamic concept. They’re there primarily for aero purposes. It’s because those teams have chosen to do it, not because they try to solve problems.basti313 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 13:54I do not see the innovations you claim.

Binotto said the cooling of the PU is for one of the innovations they brought for 2022. All of the Ferrari cars carry the bulk of their cooling in the sidepods and not on the centerline like Mercedes, Honda, and most likely Renault.wowgr8 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2022, 16:07For a car that's fairly refined everywhere else I'm surprised at how basic (and big) the sidepods are, they look like they're from the FOM model but with no big undercut
Ferrari having issues with cooling or reliability? The Alfa also has fairly plump sidepods
I know this isn't a direct comparison, but here the flat top and similar louvre usage is evident
