Ferrari introduced a new but simplistic solution in Melbourne, as a winglet could be found mounted either side of the curved exhaust surround and rear wing pillar mounting on the SF-24.
It’s interesting that we haven’t seen anyone place winglets here before, given it’s clearly allowed within that box region and especially as Formula 1 designers have a penchant for placing aerodynamic surfaces wherever possible, with devices like the T-Wing a testament to this.
Despite this being the first time we’ve seen a winglet here, it’ll now likely be something we see other teams add to their arsenal during the course of the season, with these pylon winglets expected to help repurpose some of the heat being rejected from the engine cover outlet and improve flow downstream to the beam wing.
