Scuderia Ferrari brought its most important update on day three of the Barcelona testing session at the Circuit de Catalunya when the F1-75 car was seen with a new floor edge solution.
It was a different approach from the Maranello team, as its solution also featured the cutout permitted in the regulations. However, rather than the elongated flap that’s disconnected from the floor’s edge, it favoured a tongue-like flap mounted on the underside instead.
The Haas F1 team also cut out a section of its floor’s edge and, whilst it won’t be considered as aggressive as some of the other solutions, it’s good to see it has been busy utilising the additional CFD and wind tunnel time it is allowed to use as a compensation for its lack of results.
