Ferrari’s new Red Bull-style F1 sidepods revealed in Spain

Ferrari's new Red Bull-style sidepod solution has been spotted for the first time ahead of Formula 1's Spanish Grand Prix.

As reported by Autosport earlier, Ferrari is abandoning its long-running in-wash style sidepod concept for a Red Bull-style downwash design.

As our exclusive images show, the new Ferrari sidepods are a total revamp of what the SF-23 has run with so far.

The new version does away with the bathtub central section that has been a hallmark of the Ferrari cars since the start of 2022.

Instead, they feature a more horizontal upper surface that helps feed the airflow down into the diffuser area.

This is based on the Red Bull concept, which the Milton Keynes-based squad has utilised to boost the performance of its RB19 and is an idea copied by many other teams.

Ferrari's downwash ramp variant is similar to the likes of Alpine, Aston Martin and Mercedes, in that it features the water-slide gulley atop the bodywork in order to drive airflow down to the rear section of the floor and coke bottle region.
