F1 Monza, here are Ferrari wings and funds for Leclerc and Sainz

Last weekend’s Dutch GP showed an unstable SF-23, totally uncomfortable on the tight and twisty Zandvoort track. The characteristics of that track have in fact highlighted the limits, never objectively exceeded, of this single-seater, capable on slow tracks of generating a load with insufficient and above all not constant road surface, such as to make its behavior unpredictable when cornering. At Monza the single-seaters of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz junior will be presented with extensive modifications of which only a part must be considered specific for the characteristics of this track, while a large part of the evolutionary package will represent the basis of the 2024 project.

straight line efficiency

In detail, these are innovations that increase efficiency on the straight and in the fast corners of the Brianza track, generating an impact in terms of resistance to progress. The package will include at front wing level a version with reduced string flaps, while the rear one it will have the same philosophy as the one introduced in Belgium, the connection between flaps and side bulkheads reduced to a minimum to reduce drag also thanks to the flaps with almost zero incidence.

so the bottom

—

But the biggest news will be at the bottom level and specifically in the rear section in front of the wheels. In practice, in this area where the Venturi channels join at the height of the diffuser elbow, there will be concavities which create discontinuity in their profile. In this way, by varying the speed and density of the underlying flow, the triggering of jumps is drastically reduced. This solution aims to make the SF-23 travel as close as possible to the asphalt, a decidedly significant factor in Monza, to increase performance per lap.

hopping

—

Furthermore, it is correct not to underestimate how much better management of bumps reduces degradation of the rear tires, in favor of traction when exiting the variants. It is therefore possible to consider the version of the SF-23 deployed at Monza as an extreme of its original concept, therefore not a real and proper solution to the intrinsic criticalities of this project, which the specific nature of this track tends to make irrelevant at a performance.
