Ferrari submits four aero updates for United States GP

Ferrari has submitted four aerodynamic updates for the United States Grand Prix, aiming to increase floor downforce and improve airflow toward the rear of the car. The package covers the floor body, floor board, sidepod inlet/coke area and diffuser.

The floor revisions change the board-brace layout and reshape the leading edge; Ferrari has also added lower volume to the sidepod inlet and reshaped its undercut and coke-line volumes. The team says the floor and sidepod work is focused on increasing downforce at both the front and rear of the floor, as well as the energy and stability of airflow directed toward the rear.

The diffuser update covers its volume, expansion profile, fence loading and outboard trailing-edge furniture. Ferrari says the revised geometry benefits from improved incoming flow and returns greater aerodynamic load efficiently.
