Haas VF-26

[WardenOfTheNorth]

Are Haas using the Ferrari gearbox and, if so, could they copy thr exhaust flip up seen on the Ferrari?

Any team can copy the idea, but that would mean redesigning the differential and then also altering the suspension geometry. Teams will take a cursory glance at the numbers in CAD but it would take a lot of resources to copy and it might not be worth it for that's particular team

His point is that Haas are using the same rear end as Ferrari so they can copy this probably in 1-2 months. Considering the prize money going to the smaller midfield teams, they have to.

Some kind of shutter system inside the sidepod inlet.

Ferrari started using these slats ahead and behind the radiators around 2014-2015, if I'm not mistaken.

It massively enhances the efficiency of the exchanger from a drag perspective, permitting a smaller exchanger area for a given cooling requirement.

I think the point is that Haas have the same engine, gearbox, rear suspension as Ferrari meaning significantly less barrier to replicating the trick as other teams

One of the social media posts they just put out featured what looks like the VF-26 with a cut out along the top of the engine cover. I don't think we saw that in any of the tests.

judging by the RWEP, it's a pre-26 car.

Ahhh good eye, totally missed it.

Interesting geometry!? Adding yet another vortex generator outside of the usual endplate devices.
