Ferrari SF-26

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.

Looks like they've removed the middle winglet and moved the upper one down compared to Silverstone. Must be a low DF spec for higher efficiency.

That is a strange new way to close them though!
Do you have a "before" picture as well?

The before picture is this one: https://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewt ... 2#p1349822

I don't have the "after" picture so I marked the old picture from memory. The middle outlets have simply disappeared. It's more in line with the other teams. This would have brought some improvements to downforce and drag.

It was much warmer on Friday so they might have needed it then. Ferrari seems to have a lower heat tolerance than the others. We saw this in Austria where the PU was fully nerfed because of overheating despite having nearly the entire back of the car cut open. :lol:

They have been able to close up the car now because it's much cooler on saturday and sunday.

I was just joking :) That the red signs were actually the things that closed the outlets ;)

Ferrari new rear wing

That is...extreme.
Looks like they saw the wings in Monaco and decided to include it, as they don't have the actuator in the middle to incomodate them as the other teams

What about DRS macarena wing, how can the wing rotate during activation? Or is DRS prohibited like in Monaco?

I think there's enough space between for the wing to rotate correctly. But the setting is crazy
Is that GRock?

Do we know if that is their new rotating wing version that was rumoured to arrive to Spa?
Supposedly faster rotation for example.
