Scuderia Ferrari SF71H

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.

Good effort on floor edges, strengthening edge vortices and maybe even increasing downforce a bit. Must be a pain in the... to assemble these floors nowadays.

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

I thought you couldn't have slots that close to the Centerline of the car, as it would open up the door to use slots at the rear of the floor before the diffuser transition to actually open up as a double diffuser...

I don’t think it’s any closer to the centre line than the last one - it’s just a more close up picture. These slots are smaller/more numerous, but they don’t take up any more real estate.

Never mind... My phone screen brightness was turned down, and I didn't realize the left side of the pic was a side by side, I thought those slots were under the side pod. My mistake!

As far as I know, FIA made a loophole in rules, where they kept the floor designated as a "single closed contour" in plan view only until last 100mm. Cars were allowed to be 1400mm wide in 2016 and 1600mm wide last year, so 100mm on each side is likely unregulated.

The diffusor appears to have been updated again. The 'winglet' is now attached to the middle edge flap, not the innermost flap. Also the contours of the edges have changed.

Previous version:

That's a tighter engine cover, thus a slimmer rear end, right?

It's just tighter around exhaust
