Ferrari F138

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.

Do we think this new FW is a direct consequence of the recent switch of focus by Ferrari to look for "more consistent" rather than "peak" downforce?

The flo-vis looks good at front of floor and you can see where flow splits to go in or out towards the rear.
This is obvious. And the split is bad, right?

Watching fp2 in America they made a big stink about ir camera and the hot spot by f138's beam wing/lower endplate area. Not sure if the brakes heat bleeds off onto suspension arms and is reflecting back to camera or if the fins along the bottom are heating up from exhaust.... Just curious.
