We delve into the latest Ferrari Formula 1 technical developments on display ahead of the second race of the 2021 Formula 1 season, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola
Ferrari SF21 front wing
Ferrari’s nose and front wing from above as a comparison to the Aston Martin has a much narrower cape section at the rear as it will merge with the turning vanes mounted to the underside of the SF21’s chassis.
Ferrari SF21 front wing and engine cover
The engine cover of the Ferrari SF21 presented in this manner gives us a clearer indication of the shapes used to enclose the internal components. Note how the sidepod ramps down to where the floor would be and how the bodywork haunches over the coke bottle region to form the cooling outlet above it.
Ferrari SF21 rear wing
Ferrari went to scrutineering with a spoon-shaped rear wing and no T-wing installed on the SF21.
Ferrari SF21 rear
A look at the SF21’s rear end as the team conducts pitstop practice. Note the use of a fully tapered floor, with a trio of fins mounted midway along the floor to help push the airflow across the rear tyre, while the cluster of fins ahead of the rear tyre help to pitch the flow in the gap between the edge of the floor and tyres’ sidewall.
