Interesting that they went with a FW that has more surface combined with a smaller rear.
Maybe moving the center of pressure forward helped reduce the porpoising the team had yesterday.
Could be, but I think it was mostly about balance and stability under braking.
What I'm not convinced about is increased engine power claims, Ferrari used smaller rear wing than Red Bull, so this explains smaller top speed differences...
Looking at Ferrari behaviour and bouncing during the race, they've either gone for softer suspension (aiding S3 gains) or ran lower ride heights. The second doesn't look to be the case as the car wasn't hitting the ground, just like it didn't hit it in the previous races.
