Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

Thanks for the images! Cool to see all these updates being unleased for this race. Mclaren has lot's of them as well.

The best thing for me with this years aero updates is they all have worked and stayed on the car once they were introduced. For several years Ferrari's mid season aero 'updates' just didn't perform and the car would revert back to the older spec time after time. The new wind tunnel and aero team are clearly working better now.

Exactly. Also it looks like Ferrari is converging towards the general trends. I see them both shaping the Y250 area and the outboard area of the FW more and more like the ones at Red Bull, Mercedes, Mclaren, etc. James Allison has really brought the stability in aero development Ferrari so desperately needed all those years.

Ferrari running a new 'Merc style' turning vane as well:

Do Ferrari pay a licensing fee to Mercedes for the use of their front end aero package? The front wing and under-tub vanes and bat wing look remarkably similar. Looks like it's not just the engine that Ferrari have found lap time with.

I dont know about that but if you look at most teams (front running teams) they have copied mercs approach to front wing technology and may be merc are possibly leading on that front a lot of people are saying mercs dominance is all engine related but its possible they're leading the way aero wise aswell.

If it was "the key" teams would have adopted it in 2014 already.

The key is....there is no key.

Your car works as a whole or it doesn't work.

and if something is missing? it probably doesnt work... (there are bad cars, and great cars aero wise, some with more rake and some with less etc.);
and that top car sports that vortex wingy, so probably....

funny how I get the reply all the time when I praise the batwing, maybe its implementation isn't that easy but its task
powerful.

also ferrari aero work is directed now at 2016... so they are checking that wingy thingy out I suppose... (and how it works, or not )

In Dutch we have a nice proverb for that, translated to English it will be something like: better steal something well than invent something bad
