Formula One's most successful team, Scuderia Ferrari have unveiled their brand-new machine, the F1-75 with which the Italian outfit's young driver pair of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will race in the sport's 73rd season.
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.
So very little undercut which was difficult to see on the leaked image. But also, the top of the sidepods is not flat, as some people were saying, but rather sculpted to a "U" shape like I expected.
Unique concept all around. Seems like they are trying to take a little from all the other concepts we have seen so far and merge it into one.
That fits with the rumours that they didn't really want to pick a direction and just went every direction
The front wing can’t be final as there are slots all the way to and under the end plates which is illegal. I’ve noticed every car launch has featured this, but the cars that have run on track definitely do not.
Does anyone know if ferrari’s shaking this baby down at fiorano?

They are ginourmous intentionally, if they removed the concave factor(which i'm pretty sure isn't necessary for cooling)
I'm pretty sure it is, they're dropping the pressure there by sheilding it with the raised outer sidepod area, to draw cooling air out of the gills better, then using that shoulder to roll it and keep it attached tightly to the centreline of the car to dump it below the rear wing
That's what it looks like. Keeps the tire wake and cooling exit flows separated while having some cleaner air pull in around the undercut towards the rear. It looks like they really focused on clean flow to the rear wing with that roll hoop/intake.

What's going on under the "San" of Santander on the nose in this profile shot? There are a couple of downward sloping (downward from front to back) curved lines or slots. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FLzSgbUWQAc ... =4096x4096
That's just the underside of the opposite side of the wing, it looks like the nose but it's not.
Also we all heard the rumours of ‘vertical’ sidepods which we can see now was clearly accurate and refers to the outer most surface of the sidepods.
Makes me worry about the rumour that Ferrari aren’t happy with the windtunnel results as if the other rumours are accurate why not this one?
There have not been rumors of the engineers not being happy, but some of the engineers having doubts. And the only person who came up with that rumor was Leo Turrini. No one else.

Pretty sure the FIA show car had slots all the way up to and even into the end plates?
Double t-tray VGs similar to the AM. It looks like there is a small squish area between the tub and tunnel inlets similar to on the Mclaren, but can't quite tell in the pictures.

I think you're right Mat-tes, otherwise that part of the nose would be too thick from top to bottom.
