Ferrari SF-24

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.

They obtained a very huge space under radiatiors. Down-wash / out-wash combined?

really good looking but a bit conventional, which is not the same as slow!

This looks quite basic.

Maybe it's a good thing, though.
For sure it will be more refined on track, when is the shakedown/filming day, is it this afternoon?

Nothing radical from the naked eye which, given the SF-23's weaknesses, makes sense. I'm sure we'll hear about the suspension, internal packaging, and floor developments eventually.

Maybe they spent all the budget on the floor :D

Wow, after the start of 2022 with so many different designs I never expected we’ll end up like this! So basically we’ll have a grid full of RB19s in 2024! Bravo Newey 😂😂

Anyway, looks like a revolution rather than an evolution of last year! Curious to see the suspensions…have they changed anything?

By the far the thinnest centerline of the cars released so far though. Might look like the sidepods are bulkier, and they are, but there's barely any cooling under the sharkfin

The outboard floor height around the vanes is basically maxxed out. They spent the entire 2023 raising this area step by step over 4-5 floor variations since launch and it coincided with performance improvement.

This launch spec SF-24 is slightly underwhelming concerning details, but it's not surprising since Ferrari is behind others with this bodywork style. The basics are there and look good, plenty of undercut and radiators are fairly high up above the floor, big bodywork changes can be made in a couple of races and make up the missing time compared to other cars.

S duct inlet is smaller than last year, no bigger than half the size now. It feed higher than last year and now looks to be used only for boundary layer clean-up.

We'll need more views for front suspension and front wing analysis
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Probably because of the massive slats on the sides of the engine cover would be sufficient enough.

Ferrari again with a beauty. :) Hope it’s fast too!

Sidepod inlets with the lower extended lips and channels on the sides of the engine cover immediately visible changes. The inlet itself not in letterbox style and quite conventional.

Still least centerline cooling from all cars. Triangular airbox remained as known from Haas already, but without the additional openings on the sides like on the Haas.

Openings next to the Halo are interesting and probably what was meant with interesting things going on around the engine cover.

Overall a pretty clean design without any groundbreaking or sophisticated stuff visible (yet).

The most important part - the floor - is not visible obviously and again it will primarily be about it’s performance. So let’s hope they’ve nailed it.

So a bit of waterslide in the end though not as extreme, weren't formu1a.uno saying it wouldn't have that? I thought they said it would be more akin to a Red Bull downwash ramp without them

Convergence usually takes place, Newey was just ahead of the curve.
The renders of the Ferrari SF-24 look like they've not done anything too radical.
But the real car will probably be a different story. The floor of course is where the interesting
stuff will likely be. I guess if Ferrari can iron out the weaknesses and make the car more
consistent for the drivers, they should be able to challenge Red Bull.

The work around the Halo looks quite interesting though.
