Ferrari feel that some of their competitors have started to copy parts of the SF90, concerning the radical front wing. The team have taken different approaches to all the new front wing regulations for next season and designs have been slightly different others.

The Italian team, have largely struggled to keep up with Mercedes this season but the update to the front-wing has enabled them to improve results, picking up four consecutive pole positions, including three race victories.

"On the current car, the regulations being the same for next year it will certainly be of interest," team principal Mattia Binotto said.

"Whatever we are building on this season, in terms of understanding, will be key for next year as well.

"On the front wing, I think some are copying us at the moment, more than us [copying] the others. So I think that the next year's car will be a development of the current one.
