FERRARI DOES NOT WANT TO WING IT
Despite next year’s rules revolution, developing current-spec front wings remains relevant for 2017. That’s why several teams continue to fine-tune and assess their designs with an eye already cast towards the future.
Ferrari thus sampled a new front wing in Suzuka, having tweaked the area located between the end-plate and the arches on the outer section. Going against the trending aero philosophy of segmentation, some gaps have been closed off (compare white arrows), while the footpath has been widened and now encroach on the funnel formed by the arches (see yellow arrows).
