Ferrari has introduced a new design for their SF-24 car, aiming for improved performance and manageability. The changes include a new sidepod design that allows for a deeper undercut section and better positioning of the lower side-impact spar. This design change will enable the team to fully embrace the performance advantages of the new setup.
The stated aim is for a more manageable car, with a broader setup window, that’s easier to drive and quick across the course of an entire race weekend. Delving into the changes made by the Scuderia, we’ll start with the sidepods. At the start of last season, Ferrari decided to hold firm and committed to its bathtub-style sidepod solution.
But that design wasn’t long for this world, with the arrangement abandoned midway through the campaign in favour of a hybrid version of the downwash ramp-style solution seen elsewhere on the grid. It was unable to fully commit to the change, however, owing to the position of the lower side-impact spar (SIS), which remained enclosed within the sidepod, rather than being mounted lower and enclosed within the structure of the floor.
