Cross wind sensitivity had more to do with rear corner inflow. Obviously something Ferrari didn't anticipate will be as much of an issue as it was with raising of the floor edges.f1316 wrote: ↑19 Feb 2024, 20:42They had a lot of issues with wind direction change etc in 2023, I wonder if this could be related to that? Ie a test to understand how much this continues to be an issues in yaw - you would imagine a larger shark fin would exacerbate any issues they had and so could be a way to test for any underlying issue?
They have a new rear suspension....they just didn't switch from pull to pushrod, which makes sense if you think about it a bit more and look at the rest of this area. Like I said - it always depends on the car as a whole and what it "needs". Ferrari has raised the suspension by an innovative arrangement of the parts in the gearbox, which gives the necessary space for the aerodynamics of the floor and diffuser even without a pushrod. In return, however, the slightly better ride height control of the pullrod suspension is retained. Since last year at the latest, everyone should know that the most important thing is how low you can drive in the rear and here the Pullrod suspension has minimal advantages. So you kill two birds with one stone.bagajohny wrote: ↑19 Feb 2024, 12:51Looks like due to cost cap they decided to invest in new rear wings rather than new rear suspension.organic wrote: ↑19 Feb 2024, 11:10Article talks about the engine cover comparison and clarified that the spec 1, trimmed engine cover is the one that will be in use for the seasonorganic wrote: ↑18 Feb 2024, 15:50Better quality comparison photos of the two different engine covers run in the filming day
I believe most of the difference in appearance is due to lighting, but there's certainly a large difference in terms of sharkfin

And they also talk about the car being able to run higher wings without balance issues unlike the sf-23. Which means tyre wear can be better and drs effect can be greater
Looks like it stops around where the trolley stops to me. There's a metal straight edge cover after that, they made that area a lot simpler than last year.CaribouBread wrote: ↑21 Feb 2024, 10:11The edge wing runs all the way along the floor?
