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.

Increase light and look through the circle of the front wheel alignment bracing unit...the Ray mouth has been moved further back.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

i cant see it either but the tub is homologated for the season guys, if the hole was there before is will still be there for the whole season. So it is definitely there.

whether they decide to use it or cover it up is another question, but i suspect some races they will and some races they wont.

They had to due to the nose being illegal without them if I understood things correctly

Old wing. The new one does not have the vanes.

Regarding the strakes on the nose:
Their shape and position has been slightly adjusted and the purpose is now clearer. They are for legality purposes and therefore needed to be tested before Melbourne.

According to the rules, the nose must be a single open shape if sliced vertically. As Ferrari's nose is wide at the front and then narrows before widening again to meet the chassis, it can form two separate sections if sliced vertically at the sides.

The strake joins these two sections to form a single shape, allowing the nose to meet the letter of the law.

Did they get rid of the slot under the nose?

I think the slot is just covered up by a thin bit of carbon fiber, that's why we can't see it now.
