Ferrari 150° Italia

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.

They were testing these three rear wings in Barcelona. So the new rear wing you are talking about with the longer flap could be the one on the first picture

I'm guessing it helps clean up the flow in the area between the tires.

Isn't that a new engine cover? I don't think that bump was there before. Possible gearbox update?

yes true, but to change from a 3 element to a 2 on FW is unusual, and ferrari tested the large flap rear wing in spain and seem to be running it here. my bet would be that they are going to keep both of those features for canada too
