Ferrari F1-75

Tie rod visible in some images and is missing in others.

In "action" it's still there for both cars.

Leclerc's car looks potentially like it's running slightly lower, too.

What are you trying to imply?

I was expecting a more substantial upgrade package from Ferrari. Feel kinda robbed.
Did they run the new venturi channels or not? I could not tell from TV.

These affirmations are something else. Like the Scuderia Ferrari owes something to you, LOL.
The media should really stop hyping upgrades, because this obsessive desire for new updates has no sense.
Also, if a new floor, new rear brake ducts and a new rear wing aren't considered a substantial upgrade, then I'm missing something.

Anyway yes, they did run the new floor on both cars.

EDIT: grammar.

It seems like both cars got the new floor. Interesting, I tought they will do comparative tests with the old one on 1 car.

Maybe they feared that the old floor would do better than the new one

You can clearly see one of the tension stays for the floor (about halfway along).

But which sidepods? The real update is on the floor

You mean either of those?

The forward one looks like a pipe (and is present in the Bahrain pic) the rearmost one looks to have a threaded toggle at the outer end and looks different to the Bahrain pic.

Yep, i initially had a sentence in the post saying that the left one is some flexible cable/hose that, whilst not identical, was present in the old spec and the right one most likely a stay as it looks rigid.

So...
The introduced a new floor to solve porpoising, porpoising is still there and there seems no progress compared to RB. Merc is close now, much earlier than anyone thought, apart probably from the die heart fans.
Are we still sure that F1-75 doesn't need any updates?
Because the floor is not THAT different from what we have already see.

What nonsense.

They didn't introduce the floor to completely "solve porpoising". It was to reduce it so they can run the car lower. The ultimate solution will come with the rear suspensions in the 2nd half of the season. People absorb misleading headlines and then get disappointed when the team doesn't deliver on them.

The updates have worked as reported by Duchessa. Just because you can't visibly see the differences or the difference to RB doesn't seem that big doesn't mean they haven't. RB have also lost 5 kgs. It's all relative.
