Ferrari introduced two advanced aerodynamic upgrades on its SF-26 during pre-season testing in Bahrain, aiming to boost straight-line performance. The new “Flick Tail Mode” and a fully rotating rear wing are both designed to enhance speed efficiency.

Competitors believe months of research would be required before viable development could begin.
