IMO it's their pace and their strategy which are most worrying.

I was thinking it might be a vent for some sort of venturi effect (seems like an odd place to put it) in the exhaust configuration. Whether or not that is even beneficial I have no idea. It is so far aft it could be helpful in producing dirty air though. :idea: :p :confused:

The wider nose pillars , part of the latest upgrade package , increased the quantity and quality of air passing under the nose and through the inner bargeboard-body zone towards the sidepod bottoms . To prevent any bleeding of this stronger airflow out of the floor’s upper surface and mixing with air coming under the chassis, Ferrari added a small trapezoid fence on floor side (in yellow, bottom picture) . Any mixing between the two flow layers would create unwanted turbulence and ruin significantly diffuser efficiency .

As regards the sidepod panels , the vortex creator fin ( in yellow ,top picture ) is now gone .

It worths remembering that Ferrari also moved to floor revisions last year on the F10 before season started and that was the time that team added the fin on sidepod panels to generate vortexes towards the rear wheels to cut drag

Looks like this is the finnished product. I like the concept, just wonder if it is capable of putting a Beat-Down?

There's a calibration issue with Ferrari's wind tunnel, and the issue won't be resolved until September or October.
