Scuderia Ferrari SF90

AFAIK cars are completely stripped and rebuilt between races, so all paint is removed and re-applied.

Think I've seen this in a RB documentary.

Oh yea i know that, but they aren't stripped and repainted between sessions at the track. So the build up of grime from all the practice sessions could effect their performance at qualifying.

I haven't seen any other source for this rumor by the way, was hoping someone on here would know more perhaps but seems not

This seems like it could easily be a real problem for them. How much the dirty car truly impacts things other than aesthetics I don't know, but if this forces them to go back to a proper glossy paint job, so much the better!

This matte paint looks horrible.

I remember we wouldn't clean the rear wing flaps during sessions, Only the end plates. The aero guys liked the minuscule specs of dirt on the wings as it Helped to keep airflow attached or more consistent apparently.

Isn't that set of sparks trailing off the right outside corner...the opposite corner of where the car should be bottoming on a right hander.

Unless the front left damper got stuck at extension, I believe. Or a right rear spring failure.

The car was running new rear rims, anything new on the fronts?

Unidentified object? It was Bottas, behind the grassy knoll, with a rifle taking pot shots!

The sparks are coming off the t tray under the driver.

Unidentified object? It was Ericsson who hit the Ferrari wasn't it?

Besides the 3 new deflectors, the biggest slot, just in front of the tire, is gone with the new floor.

Vettels left tyre banged or the rim broke... That's all that caused the crash.

Part of the brake duct is also different.
