Ferrari F138

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Does it sound plausible, or is it not really workable/advantageous?

Teams generally want air flow under the engine cover to move as freely as possible. If that flow somehow becomes pressurized, it increases drag and inhibits air flow into the sidepods. Sometimes, it even makes the engine cover go boom.

Hard to see from this picture, but surely that must be the orange hard compound :)
Do you feel you can beat the Red Bulls, either to pole position or the race itself?

The cutout that enlarged sidepod exit in the black bodywork under the upper wishbone pick ups is gone.

The Gurney type flap that once spanned the top of the diffuser exit (and at one time also wrapped around the corners) seems to be evolving into a wing. And looks like the bracket that holds it in place seems like its own tiny endplates too.

Is that cooling air outlet bigger now than before (larger diameter), or am I seeing things?

Interesting how on the 3rd picture the mechanics don't seem to care that someone's snapping a pic of the rear while on the 7th pic they covered it up, i think as if there's something new on the diffuser or the rear end
