After the encouraging results of the Canadian Grand Prix, Ferrari continues to modernize the car and presented an updated version of the aerodynamic body kit in Austria.
The front fender of the SF-23 has a different profile of end plates, reminiscent of such elements on the Red Bull RB19. The elements connecting the wing surfaces also look different – the purpose of all these changes is to achieve a more efficient deflection of airflow to the sides of the car.
However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, this is the most visible, but not the most important part of the aerodynamic improvements. In Maranello, a much greater effect is expected from the modernized soil, on which the 3D configuration of the Venturi tunnels has been changed, as well as the vertical partitions between these tunnels.
The experts immediately noticed that the front, more or less visible part of the Venturi tunnels now resembles this part of the underside of a Red Bull Racing car. The changes are primarily aimed at improving the efficiency of the soil as a whole, but at the same time must reduce the chance of a build-up effect.
If these goals are successfully achieved, the Scuderia could slightly reduce the amount of ground clearance while tuning the cars of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz and make the SF-23’s behavior more predictable.
