Ferrari brought a new fund to the Abu Dhabi track in anticipation of 2021. While in free practice for the Portuguese GP, the Cavallino team merely introduced a solution that represented next year’s regulation with the start of the cut of the pavement. from 1800mm from the front axle, making the grooves on the side trailing edge disappear, Yas Marina saw the first evolutions of the concept.
In fact, in Charles Leclerc’s SF1000 a very advanced version of the lower part has appeared: the upward curved edge in front of the rear wheel that characterized the standard solution has disappeared, while five small vortex generators have appeared in it. place. each with a different inclination with respect to the longitudinal plane.
Flo wiz paint was sprayed in this area to visualize the flow trend and look for a correlation with the experimental work carried out in the wind tunnel and in the CFD.
The three highly deformed vertical elements that were positioned just beyond the point where the bottom begins to tighten with respect to the trailing edge have certainly not escaped Giorgio Piola’s gaze. The aerodynamics are therefore working hard to try to recover the lost load (we are talking about 10%), as did the Red Bull and Haas technicians.
