Also not sure that was there before.

That winglet? Sure it was...

Oh yeah, that's a wing alright (extending outboard of sidepod opening)...

Nice! Great attention to detail, especially on the S-duct slots =D> =D>

Cross over S duct is interesting.

Are they (1) trying to lengthen and smooth out the air passage or (2) take air from the high pressure side in yaw and feed it to the opposite side of the car?

According to the corresponding AMuS article this is because of the nose regulations. It is not specified though what rule makes them cross the ducts....

One of the possible explanations for S-duct crossing channels...

That would mean that all team have this. Are you sure it's not specific for SF70-H only? I don't recall any other team to have crossed s-ducts (but I may be wrong off course )

As far as I remember, the "classic" S-Duct has to be placed completely in the plane splitting the nose from the chassis.




Otherwise you are in conflict with the "single-open-section"-rule for the nose.
So IMO the crossing is for the same reason, as the vanes in the RedBull-nosehole or the design of the FI-nose-slots.

How crossing them helped it?

I am questioning same thing. Are openings on the nose even legal in the way that Ferrari does it. Should be done in the way that you posted in this picture.

My explanation is, that you get a better airflow if the duct is not S-shaped but more "straight".
Also, it could be useful for the underside to get rid of the air at a point further ahead than the splitting plane.

I think what Ferrari did is along the lines of FI nostrils to get it legal.

I made this:

And here the "interactive" flash version, if you want to stop it at any point: http://www.laf1.es/articulos/tecnica-as ... 015-912083

So yes, I think it's legal because the hole begins in the lower part when it ends in the upper part. Basically, that you can't see the tarmac from above.

From my Point of view they get a much straighter duct with just a Little bent and twist by crossing the ducts.
If you would Twist them more to have the airflow kept on each side through the ducts (left on left, right on right), this would cause more loss of Speed in the airstream.

New barge boards i think.

Yes, it is an advantage, but is it legal.

They are the same except they are now part black so it looks like they are shorter.
