Suzuka GP: Ferrari largely upholds the Singapore package
Never change a winning package. This is the path they have taken in Maranello for this GP in Suzuka The Japanese track should enhance the characteristics of the SF15-T as the Red, on tracks where the recovery of energy takes place mainly MGU-H compared to MGU -K, he has always suffered. Another factor will then not be overlooked factor tires. This track will be used the harder compound Pirelli and will be interesting to see if Ferrari has solved the problems encountered at Silverstone just with these compounds.

As might be expected, even given the proximity in time between the GP of Singapore and Suzuka, we have not seen major technical developments on the car.
Confirm bellies dug at the beginning that had been abandoned in the GP with ski low downforce. Along the sides "flared" returned too flow diverters two elements that were introduced on the SF15-T with these sides.
The 'front wing is the version that was introduced from GP at Silverstone. L 'rear wing undergoes changes r Supervisory Department to that used in Singapore to adapt the SF15-T characteristics of the track. The movable flap, as well as having a rope reduced compared to Singapore, has the straight profile and not more curved.

At the rear, as you can see from the image above, it was confirmed the two small tabs on the structure of rear protection. These small profiles in addition to slightly increase the load to the rear help to maximize the extraction of air in the central zone of the diffuser, the area rather critical in the functioning of that component.
Then confirmed, the version of the well bottom with small slots 9 in the vicinity of the rear wheels, introduced in Singapore. This particular solution is used as a flow divider in order to allow a greater influx of air in the upper zone of the diffuser and thus increase the load generated. In practice, it goes to increase the vorticity, to create a sort of skirt "pneumatic": this has an important consequence in that the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the speaker increases, thereby increasing the aerodynamic load.
In conclusion, we have no real evidence, but looking at the pictures it seems that Ferrari has mounted side for now, the version of the hood tight, unused in Singapore because of the high temperatures and humidity present.

GP Suzuka: The aerodynamic package Ferrari SF15-T
Than analyzed yesterday there are noteworthy innovations on Ferrari SF15-T. Predictably, it is given also the two races close together (Singapore and Suzuka), the teams bring to the track a few aerodynamic developments.
Ferrari, as we have already analyzed, there were simple adaptations to the characteristics of the track on the movable rear wing flap.

Unlike Mercedes, on the Red, during both sessions we did not use the monkey seat to go to increase the loading downforce. And 'right to stress that the SF15-T, you are using compared to the W06, a rear wing and charge more then most likely there is the need to use an additional spoiler.
After excellent meets on a path of high load such as Singapore we have been confirmed in full the changes introduced in the terminal area of the bottom in the vicinity of the rear tires ( see here all the technical details ). There are substantial innovations even took on the rear brakes which are the "classical" horizontal appendage (yellow arrow) useful to "correct" the airflow to be directed in the outer area of the speaker in order to maximize the load on the rear axle.

Ono šta mi je posebno interesantno je šta par čitatelja ispod prvog članka spominje kako je Ferrari našao nešto ala traction control (TC)! Se sjećate Singapura 2013 i priča kako tadašnji Vettelov Red Bull ima neku vrstu TC-ija?
Očito je Vettel otkrio neke detalje Neweyeve genijalnosti inženjerima Ferrarija, i onda uz njegovu poznatu superiornu vožnju po Singapuru, opet naveo na famozne priče o famoznom TC-iju.......
