Ferrari F1-75

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Could this floor upgrade backfire and the car bounces more?
For Sure!!

I mean reducing the outer flow for the underbody outwash and driving more flow over the floor to the diffuser should make it more stable if anything, depends on what else they did in the tunnels.

The rear wing main plain is looking a bit different to me, "V" shape looks like more pronounced from anything that we saw till now, looks like they want to generate less downforce from that main plain.
Any other thoughts on this?

It's been that way since Canada.

A little forgotten with the very visually striking tunnel redesign but the "barge boards" have also changed with this "L" shape at the bottom.

It looks Canada-spec to me

The floor leading edge change is very big. The biggest change I've seen of any team doing floor leading edge work (well...besides the Aston...but... :wink: )

Looking like barge boards are slowly coming back

You'd think they bring an update in anticipation to align with the new technical directives that come into force for Spa... obviously might take some fine tuning before the optimise everything with it, but it shouldn't effect the bouncing too much. Have seen a bit of an improvement already from the last few Grand Prix, particularly from the SF-75.

New parts need to be tested and verified in P1 at least, I don't think it was ever a plan to only have one driver use new parts. Even Canada RW choice was a forced decision. Also, teams need all versions of all parts prepared for scrutineering, so fitting two different floors to two cars is the simplest way to do handle them across the pits.

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Sensors everywhere.

You can clearly see the strakes right to the edge of the floor, i don't think they were visible from the outside in the previous iteration.

Scarbs talking about the floor change impacting balance front to rear - anyone clever enough to understand how? Eg would they be looking to move the balance slightly frontward or rearward - and why? The Ferrari has seemed strong on turn in so I can’t imagine they need more downforce at the front? But I have… no idea.

According to ChronoGP Ferrari have different rear suspension geometry giving a better ground pressure footprint via camber control. They certainly hookup mechanically on exit.
