The Formula 1 technical updates on show in the Paul Ricard pitlane at the French Grand Prix, giving insight into the relentless development undertaken by the teams in pursuit of more performance:
Ferrari SF90 front wing detail
Ferrari has a new front wing available in France, which as we can see in this picture features a new shorter endplate design with rearward cutout. Meanwhile, an additional triangular fence sits astride the footplate to help divert flow outboard and a small vertical Gurney on the trailing edge of the footplate will have its own aerodynamic benefits.

The wing elements have also had their shape and chord altered to take advantage of these alterations and better align the wings downforce and flow conditioning goals.

This is a great shot of the Ferrari SF90’s front brake assembly without the drum installed, as it allows us to see how the inlet feeds the various areas of the assembly with the cool airflow it collects.

This shot of the new Ferrari front wing gives us an idea of just how sculpted the endplate is and perhaps gives us more of an understanding of how much outwash the designers are looking to generate with it and the new add-ons.
