Ferrari are reducing downforce to gain top sped. This ”new” FW have we seen many times before.

This is Ferraris new direction, lower downforce, just becouse koncept of SF1000 is not working at all.

The gearbox now is omologated and it is not clear if it is the newer (more rigid) one.
Does anyone have news about it?

Afaik the top teams run a separate gearbox inside a carbon casing. The load transfers through the casing which also got the suspension pickup point on it. You can modify the casing without penalty, just the gearbox itself is sealed. So yes, Ferrari could make changes to the casing without violating any rules.

So last year they claimed missing DF to be their issue and now (with the "new" engine) they claim they got doo much DF/drag. That makes the Ferrari engineering department look stupid and dumb, i guess?

Ferrari sporting humongous hot air exits in FP1.

Helping the engine breathe easier? Internal airflow?

Seems Ferrari will have quite a cfd advantage going into 2022 at this rate.

Seems that they are experiencing correlation issues. Simulations showed better car performance than in real world..

[Tzk]

I also thought about correlation issues. But that was back in 2018 or 19 and this never got confirmed. But that'd be a good reason for their issues, yes.

Low in constructors championship. Hence accordingly to the new "equality" rules lower u are, more cfd time u got on ur hand extra.

James Allison mentioned this in an interview. Your 2022 CFD hours are determined by the team standings in 2020.

Working on the 2022 car is not allowed this season, if that’s what you mean.

No, not specifically. I meant try 50/50 options and extra collaboration of wind tunnel and CFD software sort of thing.
Anything that may side track the main event in 22
