Ferrari SF23

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.

It hasn't been used up until now, so I think it's fair to consider it new

I missed it if it was posted earlier in the season. In addition to the t-wings there were the small beam wings from ten years prior to them ('07-'08). Mustache wings were they called? If there's a situation where single BW suffices then it would seem other teams might want to pick this up; never a missed opportunity to throw in a flow conditioner in the F1 aero departments.

No, in Jeddah they used the one with a tiny second flap, same as Bahrain test, Miami, Austria, etc. --> viewtopic.php?p=1123325#p1123325

That one actually had the debut in Silverstone last year, but we forgot about it. --> viewtopic.php?p=1070910#p1070910

This one, with a single beam wing and a tiny top wing is the first completely new beam wing this year.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

That's weird there is no mention about it on FIA's cars upgrade documents, so... it's not a new part.

Alfa Sauber has something very similar to the new wings of Ferrari.

Fabrega:

Their t tray damper appears to be inverted relative to RB; with the body on top, piston below. Any idea what the gray (plastic?) lower sections are? Dust cover?

Similar attachments, but Alfa Romeo's profiles are not that neutral.

This is the standard design Red Bull used for the RB18, Alpine runs with it too(last i saw it).
The Ferrari style has similarities but it's way skinnier and very flat.

These look like new tunnels and they look to have higher throat than launch-spec floor, which was run in Canada (to the best of our knowledge). But it's impossible to tell for sure. Still missing loads of details present on RB, AMR and Merc, guess this is a new benchmark now.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

If they are running a skate wing hybrid, I think part of the skate can be seen here:

Something hangs below the floor, and this discontinuity is not seen from above in other photos (correct me if I'm wrong).
