Ferrari F138

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.

As I wrote on the previous page it is definitely new, notice the "red bull hump" above the exhaust exit

That's the exhaust I expected teams to go with something close to a halfway house between the Macca and RB. It'll be interesting to see if other teams follow suite, assuming this is an improvement.

It's also got more than a hint of an acer duct about the overall shape - presumably with the difference being that they can now avoid overheating the tyres.

Ferrari F138 - Side view of the new exhaust, notice how much more it curves toward the floor at the rear

All the hiding is making me think there is more than just the exhaust that changed
