Ferrari used a filming day at Fiorano last week to test out the update package it will deploy at Formula 1's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix this weekend.
The team did so to ensure it had enough time if there were teething problems for what is quite a substantial change, not only to the aerodynamic performance of the car but also to how the power unit and ancillaries are cooled. A package of this magnitude has taken some time for Ferrari to develop, prepare and manufacture, with the team clearly working around Formula 1's globe-trotting schedule to deliver the updates upon the series' return to Europe.
The overbite also means that there's no longer an inlet in the path of the sidepod's upper surface, with the flow over the sidepod likely improved as a consequence. Reconfiguring the sidepod bodywork and cooling parameters, the engine cover and cooling outlets have also been refreshed, with a similar single but larger outlet to the one used in Japan deployed as part of the package tested in Fiorano .
