That bulge in the corner of their diffuser visible when the car was lifted:
Never seen this in any motorsports diffuser. The anti-radius.
Re: comments below. "motorsports diffuser" i.e. motorsports generally i.e. outside of F1.
Who else? Edit: Looks like the W14 uses it but not the RB19.
Ferrari had that kind of diffuser corner geometry since the launch last yearvorticism wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 19:54That bulge in the corner of their diffuser visible when the car was lifted:

suspension is just an imaganary thing for now. Probably we will see track related updates. I would expect (I hope) for some bigger updates in Silverstone. Especially since Merc is bringing another batch of updates and they basically almost cleared us in pace.
I wouldn't call the track related wing changes as upgrades, so if Ferrari don't want to lie to people, they must bring something more, even small that doesn't need long tests and setups, but something.
Have a hard time believing that after a new floor only one race ago that they will bring another new floor this quickly... but who knowsgordonthegun wrote: ↑21 Jun 2023, 18:47From Motorsport.com Italy (https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-fe ... /10485837/):
"The Scuderia has decided to be daring: the budget for the evolution of the SF-23 will be spent entirely within the summer break, now that the Prancing Horse technicians seem to have understood where to get their hands on the red car.
A new floor and a different electric power management of the ERS will debut in Austria, even if at the Red Bull Ring there will be only one session of free practice due to the Sprint race format.
In Maranello they are convinced that the time has come for courageous choices that could also be useful for the 2024 single-seater."
The problem with media now is that they are addressing every update on the car as a bulk update. You change a flap on the front wing - new front wing. You change a winglet on brake duct - new brake ducts. You change the floor edge - new floor. In reality, only a few elements are changed at the time (yes, even on the floor, they cut away the old bits and bond them with the new elements), since actually making new parts every time puts a big dent in the limited budget.SoulPancake13 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2023, 19:31Have a hard time believing that after a new floor only one race ago that they will bring another new floor this quickly... but who knows
I'm with you on this one. The media like to hype with exaggerated click bait. Then when the updates are minor or invisible they quickly declare that it's a let down. Then they can create more click bait about how Ferrari failed to live up to the hype.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2023, 19:41The problem with media now is that they are addressing every update on the car as a bulk update.

Since the start of the season, we know Ferrari changed diffuser keel, floor leading edge with strakes and the floor edge itself. We don't know if they changed the whole underside from Bahrain to Monaco, but it doesn't look likely. But we do know only the floor edge changed between Monaco and Barcelona (and a tiny change on the front outboard strake vortex generator).

Formu1a.uno writes that there is a new floor spec already and that it will be ran on Tuesday's filming day in Fioriano. Additionally, a new front wing and rear brake ducts. Also, no new suspension for this car, but for 2024. Link to article: https://formu1a.uno/en/ferrari-exclusiv ... -to-sf-23/
