Ferrari SF-26

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.

Not sure if I have seen that ever! it's probably a first in F1. Cars normally have the strakes under the main plain. So kudos to Ferrari for another innovation.

There’s that big ol’ vane Lewis was saying they were missing - let’s see if it actually makes a big difference.

Separately, I keep hearing Jonathan Noble (and only him) saying that the Ferrari is “draggy”. I’ll be curious to see if any of this package looks like it relates to drag reduction as I’ve not heard anyone else say that.
It’s underpowered not draggy
That is also my understanding (and, even if the contention is that the FTM takes away some power, that’s not the same as drag).

But that’s what he’s said several times and I tend to think he’s reasonably reliable, so just curious.
