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.
Perhaps there was an area of local turbulence that became visible at higher speeds than are achievable in the wind tunnel, filling that area (and removing the ‘blocking’ characteristics of it) could improve flow with little harm at lower speeds.
I think Scalabroni has mentioned this before... restricting the inlet size was the way to go.saviour stivala wrote: ↑19 Apr 2022, 21:50In the old days of ground-effect cars there were only two ways to get over any porpoising problems that showed up, one was by restricting the venturi inlet and the other by expanding its outlet. By doing so one would lose some down force but could result in faster laptime.

Reducing the volum of the diffuser will stall the underside much quicker/starts porpoising/jumping much sooner/at lower speed.Stu wrote: ↑20 Apr 2022, 08:47Perhaps there was an area of local turbulence that became visible at higher speeds than are achievable in the wind tunnel, filling that area (and removing the ‘blocking’ characteristics of it) could improve flow with little harm at lower speeds.
It ALMOST looks like an attempt at a central strake….
Agree. The vanes at the at the front of the floor might be intended to 'influence' the expantion ratio, by diverting some of the air rushing in outwards. diverting some of the air rushing in outwards and away from inlet will produce the same effect as that of reducing the inlet without touching the inlet volum. same effect will be had/reached by expanding the outlet volum. it is a sort of 'calibrating' how powerful the effect of sucking the car down to the ground is to best suite the overall car aero design and set-up. The banned 'trick' hydraulic suspension system would have solved everybody's porpoising problems with added benefits of having a variable rate of suspensdion springing stifness. On a different note. Have mercedes after only three races already lost hope of inproving their chassis ills to exeptable levels by introducing a 'B' specifiction car. and if these remours are right, how is it possible to do so under the budged cap?.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑20 Apr 2022, 15:51The vanes at the front if the floor influence the expansion ratio. The vanes divert some out outwards. So this us a way you can make the inlet smaller.
Wow, these are basically feathers for inverse flight.GrrG wrote: ↑20 Apr 2022, 16:17Ferrari: the mini flaps of the brake duct help traction

I think it is small only at the extremities, not that small in the center. In all the past races Ferrari had a bigger rear wing than Red Bull and I do not see it changing until they change something relatively big in the rest of the car.
