Ferrari has brought a major car update to the US this weekend for the MiamiGP. Our F1 technical editor takes a closer look at the team's new floor design:
Ferrari has introduced a new floor for Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix which marks the start of what will be a series of upgrades over the next few races.When it comes to updates pertaining to the floor, there’s always aspects of a redesign that we’re unable to quantify, given that the majority of the changes will be made to parts of the floor we cannot see, such as the underfloor.
However, we do know, courtesy of the car presentation submission document that the teams must complete prior to an event, thathas made changes to the front and mid sections of the floor, while also altering the geometry of the diffuser. It also appears that the edge of the floor has been optimised as part of the redesign, with the upwardly rolled scroll section and the section that tapers toward the rear tyre both subtly different in Miami.Ferrari has also returned to its rear wing solution which features a single, centrally-mounted pillar and a sawn-off top section, having utilised a lower downforce configuration in Azerbaijan.
This should result in an uptick in local performance for the sidepod surfaces and help to improve performance downstream too.
