Ferrari SF-25

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.

Was just wondering, if a team can add more titanium blocks beside or in to the plank, to prevent plank wear?
There are already such blocks there, but are they allowed to add more?
IF they truly have the excessive plank wear issue, such simple brute force solution can help...
wrong thread for this. and no they can't add more and also it's not plank wear.

Id be amazed if all the teams aren`t using the full quota of skid blocks as described in the regulations. Here is the relevant section from the 2025 regs.

The following provisions apply to the skids. The lower surface of the plank may be fitted with
flush mounted metal skids which:

k. May only be fitted in place of plank material.
l. Have a total area no greater than 24000mm² when viewed from below.
m. Are no greater than 4000mm² in area individually when viewed from below.
n. Are fitted in order that their entire lower surfaces are visible from below.
o. Must have a minimum cross sectional thickness of 15mm across its external boundaries
in plan view

I think there used to be a rule of 3 only, but I can`t see anything about a specific number now!

While the other person gave a constructive reply, you did not, and is also highly arrogant.
You do not know per se if "it is plank wear" so do not be so cocky about it. Also, could you tell me why this is not the correct thread for this?
If you will be like this, do not even bother responding, thanks.

I do in fact know it's not plank wear.

Why would Ferrari raise the tyre pressure if the issue wasn't plank wear and then Leclerc was basically lifting at turn 1 on every lap during his 2nd stint? I think someone mentioned Lewis was doing LiCo by lap 3.

So honestly if Ferrari did run at an adequate ride height that keeps it in a consistent performance window, how slow are they really? :wtf: :shock:

This is not the right thread for speculation.

Russell is the only one that talked about raising tire pressure. No reliable source talked about it. That’s a totally made up fact until a reliable source confirms that it happened, until then it didn’t happen and the data supports that it didn’t happen, and I've already posted enough about this in the appropriate thread for this topic so at some point people should engage in the conversation there and counter the arguments.

Uhm, then name your exact source please.
I read your other comment where you again tell people this is not the correct thread... are you an admin perhaps?
Could you PLEASE act normally and not be completely self assured, while having ZERO jurisdiction and ZERO actual knowledge from the team itself????
Thank you.
