With the suspensions parts not appearing in the FIA’s listed parts appendix 6, Ferrari sent all the elements to Dallara for assembling. Springs, dampers, wishbones, suspension geometry, steering arms, and steering rack; all these are identical on the VF-16 and SF16-H. So are the brake ducts. These might be fairly small elements but teams still pour a lot of efforts on their design in terms of research and development. Looking more closely, one will however notice that the degree of finish is not exactly the same. Thus, the casing housing the steering rack and upper wishbone ends sharply on the Haas charger while it extends into another part on the Ferrari (see orange arrows).
Haas’ front lower wishbone logically sports a conjoint Y-shaped layout. The purpose here is less functional than aerodynamic. As for the turning vanes, they also are quite similar on both cars, if not identical, while the wheels also have blown wheel hubs.
