Scuderia Ferrari SF15-T

Components designed to divert air flow around the splitter, where there's absolutely no need whatsoever for air flow, aren't new. They were just a bit more difficult to spot the first time around.

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.

No.

It's literally just vortices affecting something teams already utilize perfectly tuned vortices. These teams managed to copy the much more complex F-duct system without any hassle, I'm certain this won't be any hassle either.

US GP - Friday

The on track shots show both cars fitted with older version front wing

[F1NAC]

it doesnt make sense risking crashing brand new wings. They couldnt test it properly with damp conditions so it's understandable

Seb did indeed run with the new front wing in FP1, it was on when he set his fastest lap. Sorry for the poor quality but this is a shot of the TV feed of FP1:



And a better shot from NBCSN from FP1:

New vs Old front wing with differences highlighted

[f300v10]

New front wing also on the cars for FP3.

@SomersF1, thanks for the drawing. It also looks like the innermost front vertical turning vane is slightly longer on the new version of the wing.

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.

Everyone in F1 copies what works. Look at the Lotus front wing from 2012 below. The current Merc front wing has many similarities, did they 'pay' Lotus for this? Every F1 car on the pit lane is a derivative of someone elses work in some respect.

Nope just an artifact of my editing from original images :S

Looks slightly longer and more swept in these images. It could be the slight difference in perspective, but the new one does look a little longer to me:

Are you sure? It seems to me the old spec...


EDIT: Ah ok, it's just a OMNICORSE fault as usual
