Ferrari 150° Italia

This is either an ejector, or a shockwave suppressor, even a silencer!

very interesting. perhaps the high flow exhaust gasses would suck some of the "cooler" engine bay air for a slight reduction of exhaust tube temperature. There's been a few teams that have been struggling with the temps in this EBD configuration. Perhaps this is is just the amount of cooling needed.

I have had an similar idea for an exhaust as this .... In my idea the fast exhaust gasses sucks more air in through the slits only to increase the flow volume. Theoreticly its a bad idea to cool the exhaust gasses as this decreases the volume.

hm only one exhaust opening per side...? I think it could be a bit of a compensator for misalignments or vibration damping ,it may as well be a anti reversion chamber so the engine sees a shorter tailpipe?

Thanks Carlos, been waiting for this. So it seems rather than a deeper cutout we are actually seeing an extened flap?

[bot6]

Looks like a massive flap-extending gurney... Will the FIA allow it as a gurney or will they outlaw it, considering it part of the profile?

Nobody knows!

[amouzouris]

Doesn't that create a lot of drag?

Gurneys typically do, yes – they tend to be used as a last resort "oh crap, we don't have enough downforce, just bolt something extra on" move.

[wesley123]

gurneys also create a low pressure region behind themselves, so this allows more extraction from the underside but also allows a higher AoA with less flow seperation.

The FIA will be looking into Ferrari's rear-wing tonight, the legality has been questioned. A decision expected before FP3.

Uh Oh!!!!

Ferrari rear wing drama: Slot-gap separators must be 200mm apart. Rule 3.10.3

Wing in contravention with this rule, and illegal.

Makes you wish they'd told sauber before they'd raced with it.

Well, there's no mention of "slot-gap separators" in 2011 rules, but the size of gurneys is defined, they may check for this.

Is there another source for this?

I have read some comments about F1 Times not being the greatest of sources.

[i70q7m7ghw]

Sure.

JET forgot to properly sauce his post, always remember peeps, sauce your post, otherwise people won't like it.
