Scuderia Ferrari SF71H

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.

Why does the car look even nicer with that bodywork? Or is just all the red?

That would be the normal procedure, yes.

I don't know if it was already spoken here... but why does all Ferrari powered cars make a lot of smoke?

The fit and finish of Ferraris look so perfect these days.. Quite the contrary from a few years ago.

From this angle we can actually see the exit around the crash structure is an actual duct, being fed from somewhere.
Yesterday Scarbs tweeted its only a cowl, nothing special... After all he is just a journo that likes to position himself as some type of tech expert.We can never take their word as fact.

You can see here where this cowling starts. Pretty much just like Scarbs wrote.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

You can see the 'cowl' join the floor and coke bottle just above the lower wishbone in the image above.

I think it looks like the image below.

But then I'm just an engineer who became a journalist, who spent all last week actually looking at the cars and talking to the engineers. :lol:
