Some comparisons done by Albert Fabrega
Exactly, this car seems hardly worth discussing at this point.JPBD1990 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:42Interesting that the sidepod inlets are larger this year. Weird move. I wonder what the perceived benefit is over a larger sidepod inlet/smaller airbox inlet and vise versa. Any ideas?
Also, pretty sure some innovations have been cleverly concealed. For example, why would they remove the slotted mirrors?
Looking forward to testing!
I thought the same things, more larger inlets sidepod but thinner airscope, traditional mirros much more inspirend to mercedes ones. I want to see the floor and diffuser.JPBD1990 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:42Interesting that the sidepod inlets are larger this year. Weird move.

Strangely and judging only from these photos, seems like the SF71 is the evolution of the SF90, and not the opposite ...
I wonder if the taller, wider rear wing is more obstructed by the Airbox this year, therefore making it smaller and sidepods larger sees a greater overall effect on downforce?Fede90 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:49I thought the same things, more larger inlets sidepod but thinner airscope, traditional mirros much more inspirend to mercedes ones.

It could be a great analisys, and i think ferrari's engineers thought the same thing to take more advantage for rear wingJPBD1990 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:51I wonder if the taller, wider rear wing is more obstructed by the Airbox this year, therefore making it smaller and sidepods larger sees a greater overall effect on downforce?Fede90 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:49I thought the same things, more larger inlets sidepod but thinner airscope, traditional mirros much more inspirend to mercedes ones.

Intriguing. The rest of the engine cover is definitely slimmer, so likely overall volume is well down.
