Ferrari 150° Italia

Is it possible to have a cut-out/slit inside the exhaust shield that directs the flow under as well as above the floor.

I'm pretty sure it would be legal as openings are allowed on the outer 5cm's of the floor.

that metal piece is the exhaust. having a hole before the opening we see can be interpreted as having more that two exhaust exits. so i dont think they would go down that route.

the way i see it is they are using the exhaust flow to 'seal in' the flow around the sides of the diffuser and floor.

I think what he means is do a trick similar to having a slit run adjacent to the actual hole in the exhaust. I'd be worried of the reduced energy though. I think this could be one case where the sum of the parts would be less than the total, if you catch my drift

If the metal piece is the exhaust then I would assume it exits under the floor as well because the lower section (metal piece) of the exhaust is not evident in that pic. Notice where the metal piece starts on the left exit, it's very perpendicular to the floor.

Anyway, the pic lacks the necessary definition to say with any kind of certainty.

Is that from Melbourne? So they're bringing old AND new FWs?

Yes, those are the pics from Melbourne.
Have they not still made up their mind about the front wings? Are they going to test them again?

[i70q7m7ghw]

They'll just bring all the wings they've got, incase Alonso trashes the car again, they need spares.

[mith]

I don't think that's the case. They've had enough time to manufacture spares. I think difference between both wings might be very slight and specific to circuit or driver linkings.

They'll bring both specs, it's standard practice, teams do it all the time. People just get too dramatic these days.

any closeups on the suspension?

I bet the redbull exhuast looks just like this under the pod.

I see what you mean, the metal is only on the top and sides of the exhaust tip. And the sides are parallel to the plane of the opening. So it's just the bottom that's missing. It takes me a while some times. But i still feel there is no slit. Personal feeling, can't confirm it from the pic,like you mentioned the resolution isn't high enough to make a definite ascertation.

The RB and Ferrari seem very safe solutions in terms of interpretation and design compared to the mclaren and renaults fee respectively. . I think they are erring on the side of caution until the FIA clarifies the distinction between exhaust and bodywork and then, if the FIA defines a blurry line of distinction, expect to see some slits and openings and the like.

[Lindz]

Red Bull and Ferrari exhausts are both similar and very different.

Basically, they have the same position of the exhaust, but the Ferrari goes over the top of the floor and diffuser and the Red Bull goes under the floor to feed the diffuser.

I can't believe I just noticed the different front wing pillars today.
