2026 Scuderia Ferrari HP F1 Team

sky has just released a camera car of the rotating flap. Definitely it is not a malfunction. maybe a test, but 100% deliberately.

They had to design a completely new mechanism instead of the central one, you can see them at the rotation points, somewhat bulky devices. So it is 100% deliberate.

So we have now 3 "Innovations" that we saw at aleast
where are the guys that was telling that Italy cannot produce tecnicians and minds and bla bla bla

Normal rear wing is back. Let the others boil now....

are mercs sandbagging so much? what was that start? Hamilton basically flew past it really can't be that bad.. are they pretending to act weak and change rule?

George got massive wheelspin and also everyone is sandbagging which includes this team.

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.

Hmm yeah that could be correct

"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?

The difference in drag coefficient, for the same engine power and frontal area, between 330 and 340 kph is 6.1%, for the entire car. That does not take into account rolling resistance and such (anyone has a good estimation of that effect?)

Anyway, 6% for the entire cd compared to the regular straightline mode doesn't seem possible IMO.

Did Hamilton did the rest of the session with new rear wing?

Nope, they did use the wing once and then their are back to normal wing.

its shame that wing had soo much aura .. really hope maybe they will be back tomorrow with Charles

I loved it even if it produces bigger drag.

Not a lot of time for a race sim, is there?

They have done it kind of, what i want to see is a qualifying sim......

Lewis's times in his fractured race sim were pretty good. Shame stint 3 kind of got ruined by traffic and dirty air, his times in clean air were very strong.

If that was a race sim, I dont think it was very strong at all. Stint 1 was faster than last week's, but Stint 2 was quite a bit slower. None are remotely as fast as Piastri's sim.

What lap times are you looking at? From what I am looking at, Lewis did less laps but the average was quicker. Piastri's third stint is also experiencing really bad deg. You seem very quick to claim McLaren is quicker lol.
