Ferrari removes winglets from Halo after FIA ruling

Ferrari has removed the controversial winglets from the Halo on its SF71H Formula 1 car follo🌌wing the FIA’s ruling that they were not being used for structural purposes in conjunction with the mirrors on its car.

Ferrari became th🃏e first team to mount the mirror🍌s of its car to the Halo cockpit proctection device ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, adding a winglet above each mirror with a thin cable joining the two.

The team claimed the winglet was in place to limit the amount of vibratio🧸n for the mirrors, but the FIA deemed it to be a “liberal” interpretation of the rules that did offer some aerodynamic gain, resulting in a clampd๊own for the Monaco weekend.

In the first paddock shots coming out of Monaco on Wednesday, the Ferrari c🦹ar was being pieced together without the winglets above the mirrors on the Halo. However﷽, the mirrors were still attached to the Halo via a solitary mount.

“We sent a TD a few weeks ago now in response to a number of questions from other teams about whether or not the principle of mounting a mirror on the Halo was acceptable,” FIA🍰 race director Char💮lie Whiting explained in Spain following the race.

“We ♕answered yes it was, and we gave a few sti🐟pulations, one that is has to be a mounting. It’s just a matter of interpretation. We feel [Ferrari’s design is] something that is such a tenuous interpretation really, it’s not something that we’re happy with.”

The revised Ferrari design will hit the track for the first time on ꦫThursday during FP1.
