Is this the new Ferrari?👀

🔴SF23 vs SF24 wind tunnel model (photo taken in October)

-Rear suspension still pull-rod
-Disconnected rear wing tips on high-load wing (never seen before)
-Reworked engine cover with different cooling outlets

The final car will be further updated!

Australia is another interesting case considering Ferrari were very competitive there both in 2022 and 2023, meaning even the dominant RB19 was only 2 tenths ahead

The new AstonMartinF1features a significant change: a switch from pull-rod to push-rod rear suspension!💡

Dan Fallows: “We inherited the new Mercedes push-rod suspension”. (FORMU1A.UNO)

He added that the team focused on improving the car’s aero efficiency (less drag).

THE NEW ASTON SIDEPODS🟢

The AMR23 was an excellent building base: the team started from that concept and integrated a massive undercut under the sidepod.

They also added ‘RB-style’ lips in front of the air inlets (circled).

What’s your impression? 👀

Mercedes went for 'revolution' rather than 'evolution'!💡

🟡Completely different sidepods inlets, even vs their mid-season update
🟣Much more inclined upper wishbone
🔴Different nose-wing attachment point
⚪️Wing looks very elaborate

Will they make this concept work?🤔

And follow my page @FDataAnalysis if you want to see more of these technical analyses throughout the season!🏎🛠

In 2023, Lewis Hamilton was critical about how much forward the Mercedes' cockpit was located...

The team seems to have followed his input for the W15💡

The cockpit seems to have moved backwards (by 100mm, according to @Giorgio_Piola).

Just an optical effect?🤔

Stable rules➡️Convergence in design💡

The new Aston Martin AMR24 and Ferrari SF24 look much more similar than in the previous years 🔍

As sub-optimal design choices are discarded, engineers are left with fewer options❌

Will we see a tighter field this year?🤔

The new RB20 has… NO SIDEPODS INLETS?!?😜

Definitely a trolling act by their graphic designers…

What are we going to call this? The ‘no-pods’?🤔👀

SF24 vs RB20🔎

Notable differences👇
🟢Push vs Pull-Rod
Carbon fibre's tensile strength is higher: look at how thin RedBull's rod is!➡️Lower mass and airflow disruption
🟣Different wishbone inclination
⚪️Underbite vs Overbite
🟠Different upper-plane load distribution
Not to mention each team's signature difference: smaller triangular vs larger circular airscope

The 🟠 McLaren MCL38 and 🔵Red Bull Racing RB20 share several traits💡

✅Downwashing sidepods
✅Early, deep undercut
✅Overbite (shorter on the McL)
✅Cannon shoulders
✅Round, large airscope

Main differences:
❌Sidepods inlets
❌Rear wing design

Can you spot a few more?😏

FRONT SUSPENSIONS COMPARISON

PULL-ROD:
🟠McL
🔵RB

PUSH-ROD:
🟢Aston
⚫️Mercedes
🔴Ferrari

No team changed architecture vs last year: they either thought they made the right choice OR that the costs and learning curve associated with a change weren't worth it.

Time will tell!

FRONT WINGS

💡Mercedes might have found a loophole!

By not structurally attaching the uppermost element to the nose, they might recreate the infamous 'Y250' vortex, which improves underbody efficiency👌

I can definitely see the other teams to get noisy about this🤬

Today is my birthday! 🥳🎉

And #F1 is about to hit the track again!
