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.

Looks that Ferrari brought a new floor. Do we have some photos? The one that Sainz using right now looks the same spec of that one used yesterday. Do you confirm?

Any photos with flow vis on top of diffuser? Sainz ran with a big splash some time ago
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Two questions, in terms of aerodynamics, for those who understand more than me.

1) Don't you think that those minimal fins between the second and third upper element of the Ferrari FW are able to give a minimum advantage in terms of outwash, but at the same time they hook, bind, the third element making it less free to flex? We lack a front low camera to judge. But it’s my first impression.

2) The double central pylon against the single one in the rear wing support? By eye, I think that the single support benefits a greater weakness of the wing, especially in the lateral parts, producing a greater advantage at high speeds, in the sense that, being weaker, it can be flexible and produce less air resistance and a lower drag at maximum speeds.

Point 1) keeping fixed attachment between elements ensures proper gap, as well as transmition of loads. Loads transmit downforce where needed, but also flex the wing, reducing drag on straights :wink:

Point 2) It's usually a trade off between FIA strength requirements and desire to allow wing bending to reduce angle and drag at speed. For lateral stability two pylons are better than one. For aero losses, two thinner pylons are better than one thicker. It's not really a detrimental thing, but I feel teams would like to keep as much lateral stability as possible, to reduce stress on beam wings and keep them light. So overall, Ferrari solution is more than OK.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!
