I don't know. But it appears to me that the left rear wing end plate is different to the right.

Do we really think this is an accurate representation of what Ferrari are planning though?

Usually I'd expect to see barge boards in the yellow box, or thereabouts. In this drawing it looks like they are combining BATWING + BARGE Board (thus named the Board Box) into a boxed aero-element.
The green lines are my rough section lines of the body and the align with the white Board Box, I'm pretty good at reading drawings and I cannot see how the white surfaces are offset from the body. This or the offset is very minimal at the top edge of the barge surface, almost flush with the red bodywork.

Whatever. The end plate shapes are different. They are not completely rectangular.Eddie_Temple wrote:Those aren't cutouts.wuzak wrote:The left hand end plate has a cutout at the front edge that goes to the top.Eddie_Temple wrote:

Try to picture those endplates from the front. The cut out you described is actually an S curve or sorts of the leading edge of the endplates.wuzak wrote:Whatever. The end plate shapes are different. They are not completely rectangular.Eddie_Temple wrote:Those aren't cutouts.wuzak wrote:

Obviously we're looking at Scarbs interpretation of things he's seen or heard coming out from Maranello. Perhaps he'll find his way into this thread and provide some insight.f1316 wrote:Do we really think this is an accurate representation of what Ferrari are planning though?

From everything I've understood so far, having the ability to return to the larger bargeboards of the pre 2009 era is likely to be something teams will look to exploit fully - so putting nothing in the yellow box seems unlikely. Can they really think that something in the green box fulfills the same role whilst, presumably, reducing drag? If so it definitely is unusual and interesting.
The t-tray area is where I would expect any unusual shapes on the Ferrari to appear though (if any do), given it was such an area of focus for them at the backend of 2016. I still find it hard to believe this won't be coupled with some kind of massive bargeboard arrangement but then maybe they think - if so many corners are going flat anyway from the increased grip and hence much more of the lap at full throttle - shedding the drag from the bargeboards is actually more beneficial (presuming they're already happy with how this bat board - see what I did? - is managing the flow)?
Yep, rear wing isn't swept back. I expect someone realised that making it a fun trivia question was probably lacking the solemnity that the announcement deserved.f1316 wrote:I was thinking it would have been weird that they named the car after Jenson Button! Bianchi makes much more sense.
Also, the car is the F14T, before anyone thinks it's this year's car.

If nothing else, hope they go with this shade of red!
