I think, in Silverstone the temperature was never above 28 degrees.
Could the lower average speeds be responsible for this? You will need to open up the outlets to extract the heat quicker because of the lower speeds. Since Silverstone had higher average speeds the mass flow through the radiators would have been higher, which could have been compensated by tightening the outlets.
That makes sense. This would also mean that Ferrari needs to sacrifice a bit of lap time for cooling, wouldn’t it?Manfer wrote: ↑20 Jul 2018, 20:24Could the lower average speeds be responsible for this?

I would be surprised if they use the tighter engine cover at Hungary if the temperatures remain the same.

Clever, nice!!! During qualy the turbo is really an electric supercharger, so all the exhaust gas will flow out the wastegate pipes (wastegates full-open due to compressor being powered by ES-->H). Of the two wastegate pipes, the lower one is a clever "comply-with-rules-but-don't-really-allow-gas-flow" pipe, so ~ 100% of exhaust gas flow will be out the upper wastegate pipe. The small diameter means we'll have some exhaust velocity for a change. And higher/closer to the rear wing to boot! So high-velocity exhaust flow close the the working surface of the wing.
So it may just be about raising the height of the topmost pipe, or altering exhaust pulse timing out of the wastegate pipes. The lower pipe being maybe 80mm longer (length of elbow).5.8.2 Engine exhaust systems must have only a single turbine tailpipe exit and either one or two wastegate tailpipe exits which must all be rearward facing and through which all exhaust gases must pass. All and only the turbine exit exhaust gases must pass through the turbine tailpipe and all and only the wastegate exhaust gases must pass through the wastegate tailpipe(s). None of the tailpipes may be contained within any of the other tailpipes.
Indeed that seems to be something like this (sorry for my bad painting skills)roon wrote: ↑20 Jul 2018, 19:11The shape itself seems unusual. Hope I'm not falling into the reflection trap.

The bottom pipe doesnt seem necessary for flow capacit barely any flow would go though it at that 90 degree branch. Likely there for legal reasons. Maybe two pipes are required by the regs and Ferrari only need one.
