Do the S-duct channels cross in the nose cone? Also what would be the purpose of all cabling? Sensors?

Yes. Same since 2017.

"From the rumors that emerged in the post qualification there would be a particularly important one that would like both SF90s not to the maximum power levels of the Power Unit (even at the electrical level) to avoid major reliability problems and even deleterious 0 to the first race (of twenty one). The Italian team has compensated for the lack of power by aerodynamically discharging the SF90 (mostly that of Leclerc), thus losing the right balance. Especially the front, as it was written yesterday, does not seem to be as solid as in Spain and in a track like the Australian one without a good front end (and consequently a lot of understeer at the corner) it is very difficult to go strong. Even with the words by Mattia Binotto,the important reliability problems that emerged during the tests have not yet been resolved ."

Pfuh, bummer if they still haven't fixed the reliability problems. Let's hope they get it fixed asap. Bahrein might be to soon...

Is that a camera on the underside of the nose? Merc has the same thing in the same place too.

More likely a ground speed sensor

Actually a height sensor

Interesting tidbit from Vettel, I do remember last years car being weakest against Merc in fast corners.

"It's different this year than last year," says Vettel. "Last year we came out with problems from the winter tests, this year the opposite was the case, last year we had a very bad rear end, so we had to tune the car to understeer, this year the problem was quite different - but so far we have no answer. "

Another interesting thing is, Ferrari lost 4 tenths in 3 corners against Hamilton, and in S3 (twitchiest and slowest), only 0.1s of 0.7s that was the deficit.

So...did Ferrari screw up front wing design? Both Mercs and RB were quicker and they have same FW?

On the minisector video, it was visible that the time-loss was mostly occurring under breaking.
