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.

I have a question to aero guys :
but when you mount this kind of machinery (in this case overlapping the rear wing plates) you don't have changed the flow you are trying to measure ?

Not an aero guy, but, I'll have a shot. Looks like they're measuring diffuser and rear wheel flows and so on, so while the wing flow will probably be messy, it shouldn't make much of a difference to the measured areas.

AMUS is suspecting some kind of trickery in the floor due to different texture of the carbon fibre.

I would agree that there is something due to the temperature stickers.

Edit: Could they run some sort of surface cooling? Maybe this helps reducing radiator size. Or even could influence the air flow.

Flexi floor? Are they even supposed to flex? Are they even allowed? Man this car is a beast. #-o

No, the pitot tubes are on the front part of the grid so they measure the air pressure before it is altered by the grid

IMHO they just moved the gearbox/transmission oil radiator from the back of the car into the sidepods with linking pipes into the floor

Seems like it used for cooling, like the circuit boards. Still its nature remain mysterious.

What is the red shape cut out on the left of the side-pod panel, to the left of the infor logo. Looks like a window with red tint (like some infra red lense) of some sort, could there be a camera of some sort placed there looking at the floor?
Let's speculate there is a camera, could it then be used to monitor the possible pipe that passes just in front of it, monitoring its temperature?
It's maybe a reflection, but from here it really look like a transparent surface.

If it's not that, then do some of you have any idea what it could be?

Which part do you mean exactly?
