The nose section of the SF1000 is an extreme development of the SF90 of 2019 for this part and features a bigger overhang of the structural components that support the front wing. The changes are aimed at improving aerodynamic downforce. Producing this new nose proved to be a bit of brain-teaser for the engineers and composites people as it involved an interesting challenge in terms of passing the obligatory crash test, a mission accomplished at the first attempt.
The front suspension arms of a Formula 1 car are very important, not only in terms of the dynamics and stability of the vehicle, but also when it comes to aerodynamic efficiency, as they play a part in the way that air flows towards the rear. On the SF1000, both these parameters were taken into consideration when designing the front suspension layout. Particular attention was paid to the integration of the suspension mounting points and the brake ducts to maximise aero downforce while ensuring the right coo
