Ferrari F1-75

"The spray visible in the first photo also shows that the Ferrari's side sections, while wide, don't generate as much drag, rather they help reduce it. They move (2) the flow of dirty air away from the rear wheel, to remove a large part of the resistance since the wheels are largely responsible for aerodynamic resistance."

Great photo, really wonderful visualization. Article interpretation either tries to simplify too hard or simply lacks the understanding of front wheel wake management.

Removal of this turbulence allows the floor and radiators to recieve only high-energy air which improves their aerodynamic performance - downforce and cooling. Consequently, clean air is also hitting the rear wheel more than it usually would, therefore increasing the overal drag. Combined effects are very positive, so this drag penalty is worth it.

Binotto on RACING2022 confirmed, "we stopped working on the F1-75 after the French GP and started focusing on the 675 already in the summer, this affected our competitiveness in the second part of the season..."

Mattia has given Fred a much-needed foundation

Well... Charles put it in the wall and it was pack it up guys.

Thank you for explanation

He merely tapped the wall, yet the car wouldn't reverse. Also Sainz engine exploaded...

I did not realize they were using coil springs rather than torsion bars in the front of the car.
