The slotted ramp leading from the top radiator entry suggests Ferrari are doing what they can to keep flow attached and flowing in to the top entry. Doesn't look to me that they are deliberately trying to stall the flow in to the top entry.

But that's downstream.

What about it?

This all started with Mr. Meredith, back in 1930s when he started designing intakes for radiators for fighter airplanes (Spitfire one of the best known). He discovered that you need an intake in front of the radiator with a diffusive geometry to slow the air down and maximize static pressure in front of the core. On the back there is a low pressure zone, so the air is accelerated through the core and cooling is increased as well. Full Meredith effect is achieved with a nozzle behind the radiator and with the air taking energy from the coolant it is accelerated through the nozzle providing trust. This is what enabled P51 to go faster than Spitfire with the same engine and a bit draggier wing design.

Actually, cooling drag was but one of the reasons that the P-51 went faster than the Spitfire with the same engine.

The P-51 wing was actually lower drag than the Spitfire's. The windscreen on the Spitfire was steeper, and that cost a few mph. The Spitfire had the 20mm cannon barrels and covers sticking out from the leading edge - this also cost a few mph. Superior fit and finish also helped.

Indeed, check below, the slick finish, & even more advanced aerodynamic features utilized to properly focus
forced induction piston engine efficacy - with drag reduction for best speed - on limited output, of the final
production P-51 variant, the H-model... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfPOVWOIL8M

Well someone is having Fun in that Area.

I can't tell for sure, but it the turning vane under the front suspension different here? It looks like they added a third element that overlaps the second element in the cascade.

Edit: I can see now that is just a shadow from the a-arm that makes it look like a separate piece.

How the hell do they get in and out of this car?
Side pods, barge boards, side pod intake panels, fins everywhere...
Great shot of the bargeboard area though

Sebastian and Kimi use the front wing as a step to climb up the nose. From there they'll have to walk over the cockpit to jump into their seat with a 180. Tony Hawk has been their trainer this winter.

Ferrari indeed chose to incorporate a heavy downforce project on its 2017 F1 car . Literally small winglets are spotted from nose to diffuser. Interestingly the diffuser is now manufactured to suck air from under the car and even more produce downforce as normal wings do. What mentioned previously gives as a clue that Ferrari has really high expectation on the new power unit, because drag penalty will be significant.
