A CLOSER LOOK AT FERRARI’S SEPANG UPDATES
The Malaysian Grand Prix weekend had already seen Ferrari bring a trio of evolutions to the under-nose area of its SF16-H. These were displayed more openly at Suzuka. On the first picture, one can spot that the vertical fins on the splitter have been elongated, while the Mercedes-style bat wing replaced the winglets introduced at Silverstone earlier this year (see yellow arrows). Finally, the turning vanes now come in a three-element setup instead of a two-piece layout.
By launching these novelties late in the season, the Maranello-based outfit looks to assess the validity of its concepts before potentially incorporating them to the overall design of its 2017 challenger.
