The abandonment due to problems in the gearbox of Felipe Massa has allowed that thanks to the crane and a well positioned photographer, one of the secrets of Ferrari 150 Italy come to light, at least their diffuser design. Although known problems, seems that already endemic, single-seat Italian cargo aerodynamics, this photo is more example of what should not be.
At first glance, the diffuser seems a simple piece, but after the design of this piece, is esconcen good party options so that a single-seater is competitive. A diffuser is to take advantage of the Venturi effect. The diffuser accelerates the flow of air flowing under the single-seat, which creates a low pressure area which increases the adhesion of the car. In summary, a diffuser is producing the desired ground effect. A piece in the hands of Ross Brawn reached its maximum expression. So nothing better than a video to remember the controversy of 2009 and the Brawn GP BGP001.
