Ferrari will unleash a completely revamped range of rear wings this year in a bid to close down the DRS advantage that Red Bull showed throughout the 2023 Formula 1 season.
One of the main advantages that Red Bull exploited throughout last season was good aero efficiency, which made the car strong in a straightline. Its advantage increased when its DRS was opened, as the team had made the most of perfecting the drag ratio of its mainplane at the rear of the car and how it worked in conjunction with the beam wing. Other teams like McLaren did start going down the Red Bull route throughout 2023, and Ferrari has revealed that it is making big changes in this area too.
Ferrari also appears to have switched to the Alpine-style semi-detached tip section, which is one of the two approaches that has appeared in this area of the car over the past season. While the new Ferrari has shifted concept-wise more towards the Red Bull direction overall, Cardile said that the team was still very much doing things in its own way. 'We took definitely our own direction,' he said.
