Why Ferrari’s radical rear has got people talking in Bahrain

Ferrari showcased innovative aerodynamic features during the second pre-season test in Bahrain, drawing significant attention. The team introduced a 'flow turning device' behind the exhaust, designed to direct airflow and potentially energize the diffuser. More radically, they unveiled a rear wing element that flips completely upside down in straight-line mode, aiming to reduce drag by creating a larger slot gap. However, the most ingenious aspect appears to be Ferrari's unique diffuser-extending lower bodywork, made possible by an unusual differential and driveshaft placement. This complex integration makes it challenging for rival teams to replicate, highlighting Maranello's creative technical approach.
