Ferrari F14T

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.

now the wisbones are covered
Is it the gravity or does the airflow really go downwards at the side of the sidepod? It should be straight backwards

Downwash, probably most because of that flow conditioner in front.
And sidepod shape, of course.

I didn't watch FP2 due to time zone differences.

But I quote BBC's Andrew Benson "Ferrari appear to be the second fastest team - they have taken a package of upgrades to Canada, including aerodynamic revisions among which are a new floor and engine performance improvements.The two drivers shared the development work. Alonso ran the new floor in the first session, when he was 1.34secs clear of Raikkonen, before it was switched to the Finn's car for a comparison in the second session, when Alonso ran an older design."

I hope they have enough of components for both cars to run. Was there any other noticeable differences in FP2?

According to la stampa there's been a change in suspension geometry. I'm struggling to see any (front or rear) from the pics available - anyone else see it?

Old floor/rear bodywork:

New floor/rear bodywork

Longer hot air outlets, now they are "wrapping" rear suspension elements.

Base on BBC and by the image it is the new bodywork but the area on the back has been cut just before the rear tyre
