Front wing and nose cone assembly
The front wings on the car can produce 25-40% of the cars downforce.Each front aerofoil is made a mainplane (1) running almost the whole width of the car suspended from the nose (4). Onto this are fitted two aerofoil flaps (2), one on each side, which are the adjustable parts of the wing. These flaps are usually made of one piece of carbon fiber, but Ferrari has used two small flaps rather than one large one. On each end of the mainplane there are endplates The wing flap on either side of the nose cone is asymmetrical. It reduces in height nearer to the nose cone as this allows air to flow into the radiators and to the underfloor aerodynamic aids. If the wing flap maintained it's height right to the nose cone, the radiators would receive less airflow and therefore the engine temperature would rise. The asymmetrical shape also allows a better airflow to the underfloor and the diffuser, increasing downforce. The wing mainplane is often raised in the center. This again allows a slightly better airflow to the underfloor aerodynamics, but it also reduces the wings ride height sensitivity
