Ferrari’s “Rotating Wing” is the wildest concept since DAS - Here's how it works!

🔴 Corner-Mode (Traditional): Max downforce, moderate drag.

🟢 Parachute-Mode (90°): downforce drops to ~0, drag skyrockets, possibly helping slow the car at the start of braking (🔵 Straight → 🔴 Corner) when speed and drag are highest.

🔵 Straight-Mode (180°): wing faces the OPPOSITE direction. With a cambered flap, this minimises drag… and even generates lift!

Ferrari tailored the rear end to exploit this:
- Highly cambered wing profiles → rotation massively reduces drag.
- Exaust deflector→ gases hit the wing’s lower side, boosting downforce in 🔴 Corner Mode and helping cancel drag in 🔵 Straight Mode.

Possible effects:
✅ Less drag in Straight-Mode
✅ Higher drag at braking start
✅ Reduced rolling resistance on straights
⚠️ Less stable initial braking?
⚠️ Higher tyre wear on straights?

Only time will tell, but things like this and DAS are what make F1 what it is! 😃
