Ferrari are set to introduce their revised rear suspension at this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, following test sessions at Mugello.
The only obvious visual change is to the forward leg of the upper wishbone, which is now mounted a few centimetres lower than previously. This follows similar changes earlier in the season made by first Mercedes and subsequently McLaren.
The idea of this change – in combination with the anti-dive geometry of the front suspension – is to increase the resistance of the car to changes in its pitch as it is braked or accelerated. In this way, the aero platform of the car becomes more stable and the aerodynamic forces acting upon it become more consistent as a result.
