I have notice that Ferrari is one of the car that has more atention form the formula one site regarding the tech analysis.

The deffuser looks very different from what I see before and looks complicated in some degree. Probable this is what they whant to do last year and did't work because of the gear box it wasn't efficient aerodinamicly.

Part of Ferrari's revised aero package for Bahrain. The endplates previously sported large slits in their upper section. Now they have small ones in their lower section instead, complete with small, upward-curving fins. The function is similar to before - to reduce turbulence generated by the rear wheels, by helping the boundary layer of airflow passing between the wing and the endplate to detach more quickly, hence cutting drag.

For Bahrain, the 248 F1's front wing features a deep-spoon shape in the centre of the main profile, replacing the additional box wing seen below last year's nose. To make what is effectively a double-decker wing, this is coupled with two additional profiles connected to the endplates either side on the nose cone. The endplates themselves are different - the front section of their top edges are now almost flat, not steeply angled as before. Finally, a small fin is added either side of the nose, just in front of the suspension's upper wishbone pickup point. This acts as a stabliliser and airflow splitter, reducing turbulence in this area.
