That's pretty much a detailed first person account, no way that someone would just give away all that.
It's not like some is quoted saying what they examined and tested.

Great read this one! I had a few reservations regarding the last one, but the picture seemed legit.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑13 Mar 2022, 20:19Yes, very poor understanding of flat floor with diffuser and venturi-tunnel floor and their differences from the author. Mass flow to the venturi-tunnel diffser, ie divergent part of the tunnel, is not constant. Chocking happens when the smallest cross-section (the throat) can't let any more air through. After the throat chokes, the divergent part of the tunnel starts behaving differently and the lack of flow rate to it leads to initial separation, as there is not enough air to "expand" and stay attached to the venturi diffuser.
This separation propagates to the point where it's no longer benefitial (some separation in diffusers can be benefitial, but it depends on overall floor geometry) and this leads to less downforce. Less downforce leads to car going up, to the point where throat is not chocked anymore and natural flow is established again. Thus more downforce is produced, pulling the car down to the point where throat is chocked again etc...

In the article he also says the current floor sacrifices some performance to stay in the setup window, they plan for the next floor will fix that(in the medium term, so don't expect anything for Bahrain GP).Vanja #66 wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 11:35Nice to see Ferrari team is reading f1technicalGrrG wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 10:54David Sanchez (Ferrari): "We will bring a new fund that will allow us to take full advantage of the F1-75"

“I think that we always need to do a further step,” he said. “I think you cannot be self confident at all, and I think you need always to try to develop and improve yourself in Formula 1. We know that our competitors are very, very strong and have proved to be as well very fast. I’m expecting them to be ahead at the first race. For us it’s to try to challenge them as much as we can, and hopefully we can fight as well together with them, and that will be great at least for the start of the season. But then development will be key for the rest of the season.”

The USGP/Monza are ages away, the pecking order could look COMPLETELY different by then. Funo said the update is planned for around Australia timeferrarifire wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 18:58Ferrari is on par with Redbull or a little less and does not have any advantage in hand. The next major update is planned for US Grand Prix ( but Ferrari is trying hard to bring it to their home race) which will provide significant lap time advantage over RB . Till then RB may have a slight edge over Ferrari.

I think ferrari have not showed their hands...according the news they ran their engine with very low power modes. I am guessing ferrari to be the faster out of the top 3ferrarifire wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022, 18:58Ferrari is on par with Redbull or a little less and does not have any advantage in hand.
