Another significant change compared to the SF15-T is the return to a push-rod front suspension layout, replacing the pull-rod configuration that had been used for the past four years.
The new Ferrari SF16-H introduces several key design changes: a shorter nose, a return to the push-rod front suspension layout, sleek and tapered sidepods, and an aggressively narrowed rear end—almost a “size-zero” concept, reflecting an extreme design philosophy. Beneath the bodywork lies a revised power unit, with engineers going to great lengths to extract greater performance.
The engine's dynamic air intake has been redesigned: it now features a more ogival shape and appears more detached from the driver's head, whereas on the SF15-T it had a triangular form.
This solution allows for a more compact layout and an improved center of gravity.
The sidepods, particularly in the "Coca-Cola" area, are expected to be more voluminous due to the adoption of a larger turbocharger unit, which will require increased cooling capacity through larger radiators.
