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.

Apart from the addition of new winglets to increase downforce, does the reverse wing feature any non circuit-specific changes that improve it in terms of drag and efficiency as Ferrari itself claimed?
From what I’ve seen so far, it looks like the same reverse wing to me, just with extra elements for high downforce.
The shape of the 2nd and 3rd elements have definitely changed, appears to be the same mainplane though. Some of the rumors implied the geometry of the opening mechanism had also changed, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Does anyone know if in Hungary the bargeboards will be the same as in the last two GPs, or if they will revert to the three vertical elements?
AR says theyre running the most recent version of the car this weekend so 3 element floor board again

Yes, we can see it in this photo and also the vertical support of the mirror has returned to extend along the top of the sidepod forming a fin.
