The idea is to separate facts and reasonable guesses (in car threads) from performance speculation, lap time talk, far-fetched technical speculation etc, which belong in team threads There were photos of updated car on track posted here, when they should be in the car thread
Ok that's reasonable.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:10The idea is to separate facts and reasonable guesses (in car threads) from performance speculation, lap time talk, far-fetched technical speculation etc, which belong in team threads There were photos of updated car on track posted here, when they should be in the car thread
For cars of this generation, new floor, wings, sidepods, cooling arrangement, etc all at once absolutely qualifies as an overhaul IMO.Seanspeed wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:51Ok that's reasonable.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:10The idea is to separate facts and reasonable guesses (in car threads) from performance speculation, lap time talk, far-fetched technical speculation etc, which belong in team threads There were photos of updated car on track posted here, when they should be in the car thread
I guess I'll keep it here then when I say the update is somewhat underwhelming so far, given all the talk of it being some '2.0' and how 'conservative' the launch car was. Very much looks like a decent set of detail changes rather than any kind of heavy overhaul. Which might be fine, I dunno, just think there was clearly too much overhyping of this.
Ferrari has never done such a change with a single upgrade package or even in a year, recently. The only outlier is the 2023 season, in which they changed (half) the concept to start gathering data.Seanspeed wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:51Ok that's reasonable.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:10The idea is to separate facts and reasonable guesses (in car threads) from performance speculation, lap time talk, far-fetched technical speculation etc, which belong in team threads There were photos of updated car on track posted here, when they should be in the car thread

Just new rear wing tips, front wing is the same. Floor looks the same. Sidepods look very, very similar though hard to tell without better comparison shots in similar light. The actual scale of the changes just dont seem that dramatic, and nothing more than I'd expect from most any team over the first third of a season.JPower wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:57For cars of this generation, new floor, wings, sidepods, cooling arrangement, etc all at once absolutely qualifies as an overhaul IMO.Seanspeed wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:51Ok that's reasonable.Vanja #66 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:10

Yes the only outlier was literally last year. lolXyz22 wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 15:01Ferrari has never done such a change with a single upgrade package or even in a year, recently.

Its a complete overhaul of the sidepods and possibly the floor which we won't get a good look at from spy shots.Seanspeed wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:51I guess I'll keep it here then when I say the update is somewhat underwhelming so far, given all the talk of it being some '2.0' and how 'conservative' the launch car was.

Agreed, which is why I said the hype is not justified. The hype helps no one, but the media has to sell the clicks... It's a decent set of changes, arguably as much as McLaren changed when it comes to bodywork. As for the floor we are yet to see the new one, although we won't see the main tunnels of course. Rear wing tips are a nice touch, shows Ferrari is leaving no detail to chance as they are chasing the Bulls. This was not the case last year, a lot of details were left unchanged since their performance improvement was very small and the gap wasn't.Seanspeed wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 14:51I guess I'll keep it here then when I say the update is somewhat underwhelming so far, given all the talk of it being some '2.0' and how 'conservative' the launch car was.
