They used the floor from Imola, slightly modified, instead of Barcelona spec, no?
And on the Barcelona one, you could get rid of the bouncing, you had to lift the car, but it would cost the pace.

That is my understanding as well. They had horrific bouncing between Canada and Silverstone, then started to mitigate it through setup compromises in Hungary. In Spa and Zandvoort they didn't suffer from severe bouncing, but were still suffering from reduced performance due to setup compromises. In Monza they brought the new floor, which seemed to completely solve the bouncing without forcing them out of their ideal performance window.Space-heat wrote: ↑22 Oct 2024, 15:02I think they were setting the cars up to mitigate bouncing during that time which might not have been an ideal setup for pure pace.
https://formu1a.uno/it/doppietta-ferrar ... -in-qatar/The double victory in Austin was a testament to the progress made by the SF-24 with the latest parts brought by engineers led by Diego Tondi. These might not be the last updates we see from Maranello this year, but Vasseur was very clear in explaining the situation: "If we see something useful, we’ll bring it to the track. But not now; we’ll discuss this towards Qatar," said the French Team Principal directly. The development has entered a delicate phase where it's difficult to find major improvements. "I don't know what others are doing and the impact on performance and drivability. When you bring new parts, there can be some setup issues, so you might not make the expected progress right away. We're now talking about marginal gains."
Alright so since the composites are so advanced now, would it be possible to introduce (back) some level of flex to the floor?
