As we announced at the Russian GP weekend, Ferrari’s nose and cape have been modified thanks to Sebastian Vettel’s qualified shunt to improve flow through the inlets next to the tip of the thumb.
The leading edge of the under-nasal cape is now a little deeper to encourage flow through the inlets and alter the flow of air and associated pressures beneath the surface.
It also features a complex rotating vane structure that attaches to both the rear end of the nose and the underside of the chassis. Three rows of “crooked finger” wings are added to the base of the chassis section of the rotary wings, each of which bends at the top to form an L-shaped surface.

A new rear wing design for the Ferrari was installed at the rear of the car last weekend, which incorporates some parts of the Mercedes design DNA. The top rear cutout of the endplate now has jagged edges while the thickness of the underlying endplate has been reduced to allow the upward movements to play a more dominant role.
In the meantime, the stretched section that extends beyond the limit of the regulatory bounding box has only two completely closed holes instead of the six slits that perforated that section before.
McLaren, Renault and Racing Point have also brought new parts to the table in Sochi. In our explainer video, Jake Boxall-Legge uses the latest animations and snapshots from the race to find out how the new parts affect every car, for better or for worse.
