The new developments of the SF-25 for the race in Saudi Arabia, on a circuit that requires a low load and maximum aerodynamic efficiency
Ferrari has brought to Gedda a new specification of the rear wing characterized by changes to the main profile, the incidence of coupled flap and a different configuration of the Beam Wing (lower profile) compared to that adopted in Bahrain. In essence, these are changes in pure adaptation to the characteristics of the Gedda track, which requires a low load and maximum aerodynamic efficiency. But it is worth highlighting how these changes have a direct relationship with the adoption of minimal heights to increase the load generated by the bottom. The load produced by the low pressure generated under the car is, in fact, “at zero cost” or does not produce, if not in the slightest part, resistance to advancement.
Dynamic setup

This track therefore rewards the choice of setup Dynamic, logical to maximize the aerodynamic performance: the very smooth asphalt allows you to extreme the reduction of heights from the ground, going exactly in the direction followed at the design level on the SF-25. In a nutshell, the single -seater DNA, which in previous races had proven to be too extreme, here found the most favorable conditions. The simulations carried out in preparation of this stage were also started from the same baseline adopted on the SF-24 last year. We mean that precisely the minimum heights from the ground and the combination of the rear wing with reduced rope e Beam Wing With minimal incidence, but still functional to a better air extraction from the diffuser, they were the fixed points from which to start to define the setup current.
SF-25 rear wing Gedda configuration
–
As you can see in the illustration, Ferrari has adopted a rear wing in Gedda characterized by a flap with a minimum incidence, but also with a exit edge whose central section is slightly lower than the ends, precisely to increase its efficiency. Also the Beam Wing It is characterized by a lower impact and a profile that allows an effective air extraction from the car background.
