According to FUno they're working on the gearbox and rear suspension

About the wing, it's still a prototype but now that they did their first FIA approved test with it they can continue to refine (from Autoracer)

compared to other team, Ferrari powered car seem to have wider side pod at the bottom.. how does this effect compared to merc engine powered car and even Aston they are soo narrow its almost like a tunnel underneath the side pod
Ferrari has little to no centerline cooling. That's why.

Is it true that you are only allowed 2 batteries for the entire season? Wouldn't the batteries degrade and lower in capacity after each race? And they have to make them last 12 races each ...

I think this has been the case since previous regulation set already.

You can have a bigger battery than 4 MJ. You just have to use software to limit the amount of maximum discharge to 4 MJ.

I'm not sure of the weight implications but I'd assume everyone will just field a bigger battery and use the "middle" part of the battery.

🔴 "According to initial data, Ferrari can gain an additional 8-10 km/h on straights thanks to this new wing compared to the others. Mercedes and Red Bull engineers are surprised by the solution!"

Ferrari cooking? :-k

That's worth more than Merc's compression ratio trick. It's the equivalent of finding at least 50 hp on the engine side. :shock:

8-10 kmh is actually insane if true. I'll wait for more reliable sources though, because there's literally 6 laps of "initial data" available. Ferrari haven't run almost at all today.

You would only need 1 lap to confirm this.

You need several continous laps to properly confirm this. There's also no source given, just "according to initial data". Initial data of who? Some person looking at livetiming? Or initial talks in the paddock. Because the second is infinitely more reliable.

If you just look at one speedtrap once you can arrive to wrong conclusions. RedBull hit 344 kmh last week, but they haven't touched that this week at all.
