“ The fact is interesting: with the SF-24 in the evolving version that made its debut in Imola, some small correlation problem would have emerged between the wind tunnel and the simulation systems and the track. The performance growth of the red, even with the latest update brought to Barcelona, did not give the results that the Cavallino technical staff expected in the challenge with Red Bull and McLaren. So much so that in Spain even Mercedes has put its muzzle in front of the Scuderia single-seater, suggesting that the Maranello car has expired even at the fourth force.”
If forum1a uno says the numbers correlated, then I'd believe them first.deadhead wrote: ↑26 Jun 2024, 17:15https://it.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-fe ... /10627549/

First of all, everyone is improving and it's not that if you bring something you'll certainly be in front, but it's certain that if you don't bring something, you'll be left behind," said the Ferrari team principal.
"Everyone brings new parts every 2-3 races and sometimes you just work on aerodynamics, but you must not forget that you don't just develop that sector. Sometimes, then we need one or two races to get the best out of the package we have. In the last 12 months, we have seen a kind of convergence of performance linked to set-up."
Expected choice for Austria, but smaller than what I was rooting for At least it's definitely bigger than last year's wing and about equal to RB's
so they finally gave up and going to switch to redbull style suspension?Venturiation wrote: ↑27 Jun 2024, 13:16The enemy of the SF-24 is not bouncing but rather the softer tires that move the platforms too much in Q.
Ferrari 677 is changing the design of both suspensions, front and rear. The design of the frame will obviously change
Newey said "need to change it, so Im gonna do it."
It's similar-ish to Red Bull in 2021 imo. When you think the chance for a title is there, you have to go for it. The teams are so equally matched right now that a new chassis and suspension would help immeasurably in that fight. Plus, if the suspension is similar to the ones used in 2026, then that is knowledge gained which will help for that car as well.
