Deep Dive - @ScuderiaFerrari SF-25 revised rear suspension: Besides the likely (hidden) mods to spring/dampers & their actuation, upper WB fwd arm inboard pick up was lowered by ~50 mm, resulting in the roll ctr. ht. increase of ~20 mm to ~60 mm. Kinematic analysis comparison:

The new suspension kinematics maintains a relatively neutral camber gain curve (with -1.75 deg. static setting) which is typical for rear suspension requiring keeping rear tires square to the road surface to ensure maximum tire contact for traction during acceleration…
Bump steer is slightly increased at the extremes of bump and rebound, while lateral scrub peaks shifted from bounce travel to rebound travel…
