Rivals are already reportedly asking the FIA about the legality of Ferrari's car. F1
The S-Duct has been used on Formula 1 cars for more than a decade now, with the concept having previously been used to limit the impact of turbulent air from cars in front, minimising loss of downforce when following closely by channelling dirty air from the front of the car into areas where it will have less aerodynamic impact.
An opening at the rear of the sidepods hugged closely into the centre of the car allows air to flow out of the back of the car in that way as part of the design solution the Scuderia have come up with, and this has led to teams asking the FIA for clarification on whether or not this is legal – a relatively common occurrence early in a season – though Ferrari remain confident the use of the part fully complies with the technical regulations.
Ferrari fully pressed ahead with the design of the SF-23 last summer, when it became clear that Red Bull and Max Verstappen were opening up a near-unassailable lead in the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship standings, with Formu1a.uno’s report also stating that upgrades which could potentially have been slated for 2022 were pushed back to be implemented on their 2023 car as a result.
