It's an evolution design with many ideas......not even other F teams have it figured out.



It's not liquid. It's airflow.

But someone on twitter has figured it out.....

Can I get a "Thank-you Joe for posting this!"

Yeah sure, Red Bull been looking for it for ages, thermal cameras the lot. All they had to do was read twitter.

Amazing.

When’s Ferrari gonna do that?
Oh wait, they have to wait for more detailed pics on twitter to come up

Hope Ferrari are working on something like that as well.

This could be Imola's last year on the F1 calendar since Domenicali added Madrid for 2026. There will only be 24 races for 2026.

Great......just great!

[Cavallino]

I know eh, coincidence?? i think not

[Greig]

James Vowles has backed any potential FIA presidential campaign from Carlos Sainz Sr, stating that the two-time World Rally champion would be a 'good fit'.

wonder why.....

[Greig]

Red Bull and Merc bringing McLaren rear brake cooling to Imola, Ferrari will test similar rumoured.

Looks like someone else figured it out as well.

Well as they are the same publication not sure it's someone else....

LOL

Well, it does seem someone from Twitter has figured it out.

[Cavallino]

if it's just better engineered airflow, teams have seen the Mclaren ducts since preseason testing.

3 teams rumoured to bringing same for Imola, I guess they worked it out before twitter.

Bulls, Mercs and Ferrari, but we shall see.

it'd be nice if Ferrari brings a version of this to Imola and hopefully it does wonders... fingers crossed

I have seen Ferrari's brake setup pre-Imola and man does it look just basic when compared to RedBulls and Mercedes pre-Imola.

Obviously McLaren's brake setup is light years ahead of everyone.

wow, really?? can't believe they're NEVER exploiting the rules in that area, especially since these pirelli tires are so sensitive and have such a narrow window of operation

[jgonzalesm6]

Ferrari is completely clueless in this area.

That's why RedBull and to some degree Mercedes "had" an operating window in their tires. Mclaren took it to another level.

You probably seen a picture with the brake housing on though.

exactly Greig. prolly a picture with the outside carbon basket, which is NOT the actual stuff that's going on behind it.

Nope. Full carcass of the rotor and caliper.....completely naked without the carbon "cake tin."

despite doing the longest stints at many races like Bahrain and Jeddah. You could argue the Ferrari race tyre life was second to only Mclaren.

[Cavallino]

it is indeed puzzling. it's such a tyre limited formula right now.

Red Bull would have to be wrong and it is indeed possible to get tyres as cool as Mclaren's with airflow alone.

Night races, is that your point with regards to tire life at Ferrari vs Mclaren?
