Ferrari SF23

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.

Longitudinal loads transfer?
If I understand correctly, Longitudinal load transfer causes the CoG (center of gravity) of the car to move forward and down on braking and the opposite in accelerating. So during braking there will be more load on the front tires and in accelerating more load on the rear tires.

It can also change the effect on the aerodynamics as the air is passing over, around and under the car. So this is why you need to operate with a stiffer suspension in order to counteract the unwanted movement. Is this correct?

So if this is the top issue for SF23 does anyone know if the concern is under braking, accelerating, at low or high speed, cornering or all of the above?
Well, actually, some "dive" was positive, at least in the past. The front wing came closer to the ground and produced more downforce, which was positive when braking, conversely it increases traction when the rear sinks when accelerating. With the ground effect cars, the relationship has changed and the car must not dive too much either front or rear, otherwise the advantage turns into a disadvantage as it can negatively affect the Venturi tunnels and shift the balance adversely, making the car unstable.

Isn't this the one they tested at Jeddah FP1 but did not use it further ?

I can't see any difference (considering the different angle of the shot).
Can you give some more detail, please?

It's not that long and the shape is pretty much the same, the photo just happened to align with the splitter.

Oh yes, indeed

Scarbs agreed with the original twitter user so I didn't give it a second look :D

Do we actually know what mods apart from the floor have been brought to Aus? Thought they might have brought a new front end? Unless they’re holding off for Imola

I read somewhere it will be Jeddah spec car. Only change will be the new floor which they previously tested at Jeddah in FP1, they will run it all weekend. Let’s wait for the upgrade list to be sure.

I read elsewhere that Leclerc said the same thing. Seems Baku will be the first place we may see significant upgrades/changes, and those could (and likely will) continue through the following 4 races (Miami, Imola, Monaco, Spain). Fingers crossed those changes are positive.
