Fred Vasseur gave us a typical no-nonsense response when we asked him about Ferrari's 'S-Duct' 😄 F1Testing F1
Fred Vasseur confirms ‘no issue at all’ with Ferrari S-duct amidst reported rival scrutinyFerrari principal Fred Vasseur said the FIA is satisfied after reports in Italy of rival scrutiny over the Scuderia’s S-duct solution.
The innovation is far from unseen in Formula 1, traditionally positioned on the front nose and used to limit the impact of turbulent air from cars in front, minimising loss of downforce when following closely by channelling dirty air from the front of the car into areas where it will have less aerodynamic impact.
In theory, this boosts aerodynamic performance, and unsurprisingly therefore teams are said to be wanting clarification from the FIA over the legality of Ferrari’s solution. The teams are now getting stuck into pre-season testing action at the Bahrain International Circuit, ahead of the opening round of F1 2023 there on the following weekend, and Vasseur kept it short and sweet when confirming that the FIA has not seen any need to intervene.
“Well, as you may know, all the teams are in contact with the FIA,” he said when asked by PlanetF1.com in a Bahrain press conference.
