SF-24 Challenger Discussion Thread

[Cavallino]

waiting 1/3 of the season for a major update that brings .25 sec seems like a bit of a let down. Yes I know that half second performance upgrades are rare and most upgrades are small increments, but this is supposed to be a "major" change to the car....'according to rumors'.

Hoping that with the update, we should be able to be more aggressive with the tires over a stint and maybe get a bit more than just the .25sec, something like what McLaren got with their big update last year. That would be really nice.

yep, too long for too little, when your rival that's already beating you brings .1 tenth every 3 races.

And those are simulation numbers, if the upgrades are working as intended, then the real world improvement will be a lot bigger. Reducing drag could easily enable the SF24 to gain more speed on the straights, going from 310 to 318 without DRS, a mere 8km/h improvement would be quite huge. And I'm even not talking about the increase in downforce.

In 2019 Ferrari brought some upgrades in Singapore that were "only" worth 0.2 seconds/lap improvement, but the actual improvements were incremental. It turned Singapore from being the worst track for SF90 to the best one.

It worked for that track, but we never won another race that season.

well we won at the races before that, and Leclerc got terribly unlucky at Sochi

We did win races. But I was referencing the update that came at Singapore. No races won after a much awaited major update. So it was a bit of a let down.

2019 is a bad example as after Singapore the pressure about the engine really started and it was only a couple of races later some things were done to the engine.

We wait and see. So far, the theme is light blue.

[jgonzalesm6]

Both SF24 cars will have 2 shades of blue on the cars.

Azzuro La Plata and Azzuro Dino are the blue colors.

I saw renders of the car in both blues. I like the light blue. Wonder how that would look on television.

Ferrari has a huge presence in Miami Florida the bells and whistles will be pulled out ferrari will be in full show mode.Iam thinking a ferrari victory might just be on the cards,red bull will be shell shocked just like unfortunately most of its current staff.As the saying goes the mighty are falling piece by piece the redbull era is slowly closing or maybe it's happening faster than we all think.As always with F1 expect the unexpected.

#Amus Mercedes has switched to a new suspension design with thrust struts,but is struggling with the W15 car. Aston Martin,which sources its rear suspension from Mercedes,also has issues with tire wear.
McLaren,which develops its own rear suspension,is currently performing best

Miami livery is so ugly , they even remove the ''Ferrari'' on the rear wing just to put 2x HP logo here

[Greig]

Yeah that is really horrible.

[Aviamata]

100 million bucks for 15 logos in the car . We will have extra 15 horsepowers tho...

[FerrariF60]

can anyone post some pictures of this "horrible" livery??

[Greig]

All the stickers will slow us down

Urgh, that is one ugly looking livery.

indeed....and they took the Ferrari logo out from the rear wing....hopefully this is just a ONE off.....as i surely DON'T like it

[Kyss4k]

It's not that terrible (Alpine)... but I am kinda sad that we didn't go balls out and didn't switch the Ferrari red for Azzurro la plata completly for 1 race. That would be quite a historic moment. This way it's just... meh.

After this race , we will return to our red-yellow color but with 16 HP logos . Look at the racing suit , we have 2 logos in the front and that's so odd

Celeste is my favourite colour even more than red. While I'm not a fan of switching liveries per se, on the other hand if you're going to do it might as well do it properly and have a lot more sky blue on the car than this. The particular shade of celeste is a bit mediocre and I much rather have it a bit more colourful than the particular shade (Lazio's legendary 2003 shirt springs to mind), but I appreciate the effort with the overalls.
