Ferrari will stick to their design philosophy with their 2024 F1 car rather than converging to a Red Bull-inspired concept, it has been reported.
According to recent reports, Ferrari has made important decisions regarding their upcoming 2024 car, known as ‘project 676’, which will be unveiled on February 13. Despite Red Bull’s success, Ferrari will continue to follow their own design path, while incorporating some successful concepts from Red Bull. One unique characteristic of Ferrari’s previous car was the “by-pass duct” or ‘S-duct’ that directed airflow over the sidepods. In contrast, Red Bull has focused on pushing as much air as possible to the bottom of the car using an extreme undercut design. Since the new regulations, Red Bull has won the majority of races. Ferrari aims to address the shortcomings of their previous car with the new ‘676’, including a shorter and narrower transmission case for a larger diffuser to generate more downforce and potentially reduce wing incidence.
