Ferrari SF-24

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.

Chrono GP is wrong a lot more often than not :)

They do however put out, as fictitious as they may be, nice 3D renders from time to time.

This must be their "interpretation" of what has been written about the upgrade by the more reliable sources out there.

Looks nice, but i don't buy it. Is it even known what exactly Ferrari does with the vertical inlet? Does it indeed channel air through the sidepod and not used as radiator (sidepod) inlet for cooling?

So true! Their videos about classic Ferraris from the Schumacher era are also always full of mistakes! Whether it's the F2003 or the F310...

I think Ferrari will go for the overbite, to me its common sense, it allows much more air in and then around the car to to the back, if you look at the sidepod inlet on the current car the whole front part is just a panel you can screw it off and put something else on, the upgrade in Miami could setting the up. Got to say i love what they have done with the halo, where it curves down is pretty much flat.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter - they’ll go for whatever got them the best results in the tunnel. So long as there’s correlation in real life, it doesn’t matter if it’s an underbite or overbite or whatever - what matters is how big of a step the overall package is. We know it’s supposed to be significant - I’m sceptical about believing laptime numbers bandied around - but even if we believe it’s the 2-3 tenths suggested, that’ll make a big difference (especially in quali which will enable better race strategies as well as overall stronger race pace).

Of course it doesn't matter whatever the whole package will be, all i care about is the car having more pace, thats just my humble opinion. Correlation is arguably the most important thing, its why Merc are such a mess.

Not sure if true but

"Ferrari will test the SF-24 2.0 at Fiorano between Thursday May 9 and Friday May 10.

This Filming Day will inaugurate this important package of updates that the Maranello team will officially take to the track from Imola."
