Seriously, I wanted to make a practical joke but than I gave up having in mind that it wouldn't be fair. That's why I've only shared that fake pic to some of the forum members who are not mad about Ferrari without wanting it to reach public. I should have known that at least one of them won't be able to keep it a secret ](*,)

The aerodynamic hanges are pretty noticeable. There are also reports about them using the seamless gearbox, but I dont know how serious they are.

Meaning ?
Knowing that CVT is not allowed, are we talking something similar to DSG as found in consumer cars ? (While 1 gear is active, the one above and the one below are "pre-loaded")

Nah, it'd just be smth like Williams' (or several others') Seamless Shift Gearboxes that aren't actually seamless, just very very quick.

Is that a new appendage on the front of the sidepods btw ? Seems a more minimalistic, Renault-style solution, instead of those huge ones on the Hondas for example.

Here's a picture from a different angle that shows the new parts a little better. Ferrari also seem to have ditched the second, lower element of the flip-ups ahead of the rear wheels, and have made some minor modifications to the rear wing.
