Ferrari SF23

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.

A further "S" is on the FW endplate.
Are we going to start talking about its regularity too or can we think that if Ferrari made such a demanding feature (the one of the sidepods :lol: ), they first made sure it was legal?

is that confirmed on the real car or just the rendering?

I noticed that in my previous post's photo, even if a little dark, we can see that the chassis thickens right after the nose and not only at the attachment point of the rear lower front suspension arm as some have speculated.

Confirmed on the real car. Last year, Haas had it in this way, this year Haas has it like last year Ferrari. They swapped it.

Much more aggressive shaping of the sidepod from the F1-75.

Floor looks really simple(edges). Or is that only base spec part?

If they've done substantial floor redesign, up to the point where it's a concept change, they need to re-establish the base performance. Once you know you've hit a base you wanted to, you can start with the detailing. Since they've said they will have upgrades for Bahrain race, it's to be expected floor details will be one of them.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Shadows are doing us a favour, very specific sculpting of the sidepod inlet undercut, looks like the curvature around the floor is less aggressive than just under the inlet. The change is not gradual like on AMR23, although it looked like it is from studio photos.

Image

Also the low-mid downforce rear wing is still there, unlike last year's race. I can't see them giving up the downforce for the race as well, unless they've made a huge leap with floor downforce - which looks a bit far fetched.

What is the purpose of having the rake locations at random points instead of an ordered matrix/lattice?
Its almost like they ran CFD and knew where the most sensitivities in pressure would occur and placed the probes, and then built the rig.

Some strange nose deformation on the straight. At high speed the nose buckles inwards and pops out under braking & stays popped out at low speed. Needs some reinforcement? Or intended

Can imagine this is intended. Would it be dubbed movable aero?
But just suppose it weren't hypothetical.
