Scuderia Ferrari SF70H

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.

There was something wrong with the car through turn 1, it was bouncing both front and rear at the same time and it was not due to hitting the kerb.
It looked like the car was getting loaded and unloaded without reason and control
In an interview, Sergio Marchionne admitted the team had 'messed up'. They did setup changes between Friday and Saturday, but since there was no dry running on Saturday, the first time the new setup was tested was during the race. It was all just a gamble and they clearly got it wrong big time. I wouldn't blame Ferrari for sticking to the new setup though... they have a tendency of delivering good improvements between FP2 and FP3 - it just wasn't the case this time round.
They were behind in FP3 so they tried something new, it didnt work though.

There is quite extended idea that the Mercedes is a very set-up sensitive car with a narrow working window and that they Ferrari is an easy car. But I think Monza proves that the car needs a very appropriate set-up to work properly.

Singapur should be a "comeback" race for the Scuderia, they absolutely need to win this race.

Always find the gap then use it.

I assume they plan to run a cooling solution similar in concept to Mercedes' shark fin outlet.

Okay, what kind of piping are they housing in the shark fin?

I see what you mean, but I think its a matter of reflection?

It seems Ferrari have shrinked their engine cover it seems. The piping could be a shadow. We all know how well shadows can confuse our eyes!

Still no diffuser photos though!?

It does seem that way, and it looks like the engine cover has shrunk. However, the Ferrari logo is disrupted on the left side, it does not continue it's curve but it is broken up by a strong curve backwards. It looks like the Ferrari logo tucks back in on the fin, and then comes back, implying there is something inside the shark fin.

What would be the benefit of shrinking down the engine cover and how are they doing it? Don't they have to change the ''engine structure'' to create space so they can fit the engine cover more tightly?
