Ferrari have asserted that the FIA has made it "crystal clear" that its front wing design is legal for the upcoming Formula 1 season.
The Scuderia was one of the last teams to show off their new design, debuting the SF-23 on Valentine's Day. Fans were treated to a live demonstration of the car on the team's Fiorano test track, but even that did not distract people from noticing what Ferrari had done with their front wing.
Promotional photos showed the use of slot gap separators on the front wing of the car. But eyebrows were not raised simply by their presence, but by their shape which increases outwash – pushing air to the sides of the car.
