Some strange nose deformation on the straight. At high speed the nose buckles inwards and pops out under braking & stays popped out at low speed. Needs some reinforcement? Or intended

Can imagine this is intended. Would it be dubbed movable aero?

It would be yea. Just like a rear-wing bending but even more visible

Using a wrap instead of carbon cover?

Doesn't look intended to me, it might break during a race. Very easy to fix that vanity cover though, could be done today during lunch break.

Ferrari confirms that the slight bending of that nose spec was not intended

This is Ferrari SF-23 thread, not 2023 Bouncing and porpoising thread, let's keep it about the car features and not about other cars bouncing.

What is the purpose of having the rake locations at random points instead of an ordered matrix/lattice?
Its almost like they ran CFD and knew where the most sensitivities in pressure would occur and placed the probes, and then built the rig.

That is exactly what they do!!

Front suspension arms don't seem to have any angle on them, very weird

Is it me, or does the diffuser look extremely square and high?
Were that at the maximum allowable hight last year?

They are saying sainz has hit 325 kph on the straight already. Top speed in qualifying last year was 323 by Perez, Leclerc hit 316.

Probably a pretty good early sign.

soooo, I was on spot since day one apparently...

That rear wing is so tiny and has a big DRS flap, it's not really surprising they've shed so much drag. The rest of the car is lower drag a bit too, but I'm expecting a bit bigger rear wing for the race weekend.

They may be trying to match RB on the straightline speed. Like they did for Baku last year

Looks good, vortex sealing all the way just like RB19. Good amount of air going from the sides down to the floor and beam wing. Lot's of room to improve floor edge treatment, good performance left on the table for them to grab.
