Ferrari improve open nose concept

After leaving its vented nose design home for the Turkish GP, the opened nose was again present for at Monaco. Generally, the nose will be used by the Scuderia at tracks where most frontal downforce is needed, while its principle of design is not favourable for circuits where the front wing is set at low angles of attack. The team did however slightly improve the design by adding a little aerofoil at each side of the nose to increase the effect of the air channel. The aerofoils help to push air upwards, similar to what happens inside the nose cone. As a result, downforce will be even better, despite the drag penalty.
