Journalists from Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport write about what the new Ferrari car with serial number 675 will look like – the official name has not yet been revealed.
Last season, the Ferrari F1-75 could not compete with the Red Bull RB18, mainly for two reasons: the forced reduction of the power plant to increase reliability and the premature completion of the car’s refinement.
The 2023 car will not undergo revolutionary changes, because the regulations will hardly change, but it will still be different.
Redesigned aerodynamics, the appearance of the rear of the car will change. The side pontoons, while retaining their signature concave profile at the top with large heat sinks to dissipate heat, will taper significantly towards the rear. The area in front of the rear wheels, commonly referred to as the “Coca Cola bottle”, will be moved forward compared to the F1-75 for easier airflow control.
The upper body behind the air intake becomes flatter. This configuration is partly borrowed from the Red Bull RB18, where heat was also dissipated through the rear vent. In general, the body of the 675 will give the car less air resistance.
The internal layout of components and parts will also change, especially in the lower area on the sides of the cockpit and in the fuel tank. Only the attachment points of the power plant remain.
The mechanics have also been seriously reworked. The car gets a new gearbox, which allows you to install a more efficient diffuser. The suspension remains the same, but the arms are positioned differently at the rear to allow for a different bottom configuration.
In the power plant, the design of the turbine, MGU-H and the injection system changes. Despite the fact that the design is generally “frozen”, the FIA allows work to improve reliability – this is the direction that the Ferrari mechanics went. It is rumored that in parallel they were able to increase power – by about 30 forces compared to the previous version.
