Explained: Why Ferrari SF-23 car struggled from wild aerodynamic inconsistencies. The Aerodynamic Struggles of Ferrari SF-23: A Deep Dive.

In the opening of the 2023 season, Ferrari introduced a modified version of the 2022 car, which initially posed a challenge to Red Bull, reminiscent of the previous year’s start. However, its performance gradually diminished. While the SF-23 exhibited potential during single-lap scenarios, it grappled with unpredictable aerodynamic issues, causing difficulties in sustaining competitiveness throughout a race, particularly on circuits with elevated temperatures and substantial downforce requirements.

We explore these issues and the main limiting factors in this video:
