Sebastian Vettel’s accident during qualifying exposed some solutions that Ferrari hoped to keep hidden.

The package of innovations introduced at Sochi is larger than that seen in free practice: detailed changes to the front wing and rear side bulkhead, below.

The shock of the German in Q2 allowed our photographers to capture the unprecedented rotating vanes under the frame of the SF1000 that works in perfect harmony with the layer that has also been modified in the final part more arched than before.

The rotating vanes of the Russian GP are made up of much larger elements: the first reaches in height at the entrance of the air inlet that feeds duct S. The set consists of six parts (four under the nose and two under the nose). body) of smaller and smaller dimensions as you move towards the center of the car. Each flow conveyor has a different shape and orientation to converge the flow under the frame and channel it to the bottom.
At the bottom of this solution is a sidewalk that points to the front and becomes a triangular section further back: it is a carbon structure that is anchored to the frame.
Three rows of vortex generators have been placed on this floor near the last three elements of the rotating vanes.
The first row is made up of a pair of vertical gooseneck profiles that are narrower chord, but taller than the three that make up the second and third rows.
Besides being gradually shorter, they are also gradually wider. Not only that, but the ones closest to the frame are taller than the ones gradually showing outwards.

The aerodynamics, therefore, has done a great job of micro-aerodynamics that starts from the two mouths on the sides of the nose and will continue towards the barges and the bottom, that is, the next areas that will be subject to changes in the next Grand Awards.
In free practice several comparative tests were carried out with the new rotary vanes with those used up to Mugello, below.

Ferrari, having identified the multiple problems afflicting this limping SF1000, is introducing a series of novelties that should improve its behavior in the second part of the season with the clear intention of laying the foundations for a slightly less problematic 2021 when tokens are used. The development will be homologated and a completely new engine will be homologated that should return some horsepower that the 065/2 lacks.
