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.

The frontal area of the mirrors changed, too. The air intake part is now bigger and reshaped.

Good image! It almost looks like they turned the mirrors upside down 8)
Everybody is a Ferrari fan.

Is that small rod between the mirror and the winglet above there for legality or structural reasons? Just curious.

So mirrors were not broken after all... and strakes are still on top of mirror cover piece... who knows if they will ever move them on the top winglet now (if they will not ban them)

Without that rod. Winglet above could vibrate heavily so definitely for structural reasons

Why is the wing on the mirror allowed?

From my POV rather the mirror box would vibrate more than that winglet. Anyway, with this rod they both will be more stable and work much more precisely.

wouldn't surprise me if it was there to work around the (probably) very poor wording of the regulations regarding that area

Do they expect to come back at previous solution with mirrors?

It could be just a test

yup, maybe with that rod connection the winglet is interpreted as a part of the mirror :D

is it me or is the actual mirror location the same? i wonder if mounting on the halo is more about the loop holes (for a better word) that opens if you do it? i.e these additional wings.
