I hadn't really appreciated how tight that inner corner of the top front wing flap is there - is that new, and is that likely meant to give some effect, or is it just a consequence of how they want the outer curvature to be while keeping the inside as straight as possible?
they want to maximize the front wing area while keeping the y250 as low and as weak as possiblebosyber wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 09:58I hadn't really appreciated how tight that inner corner of the top front wing flap is there - is that new, and is that likely meant to give some effect, or is it just a consequence of how they want the outer curvature to be while keeping the inside as straight as possible?
The rules place a geometric limit in this area and Ferrari are running their flaps to the full extent they are allowed. It's not about making the Y250 weak. You're the only person in the world who thinks they want a weak Y250...mmred wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 15:19they want to maximize the front wing area while keeping the y250 as low and as weak as possiblebosyber wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 09:58I hadn't really appreciated how tight that inner corner of the top front wing flap is there - is that new, and is that likely meant to give some effect, or is it just a consequence of how they want the outer curvature to be while keeping the inside as straight as possible?

Oh, right, hadn't realised that meant me rekindling that discussion again! Just_a_fan, so you are saying that rather sharp corner on the underside of the top flap is just to get the sharp slope on the outside, while keeping the inner, downforce producing part as straight as possible?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 15:54The rules place a geometric limit in this area and Ferrari are running their flaps to the full extent they are allowed.

How reliable is that source? I feel like pretty much every week reports massive Ferrari updates only to see tiny ones appear. They have to do a B-spec with suspension improvements and such if they know it will help otherwise they are a year behind on tyre knowledge... A good charge after the summer break can only do them good leading to next year.
i dont know . italian sport magazines are more reliable than usual news magazines but they are not autosport that it is usually the more reliable... but everybody talks about the B spec... it s the date and the amount of changes that it is the issueMamba wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 16:45How reliable is that source?
