Serra spotted today in Maranello, there are many pictures online. I hope in a few years we can look back on this day as the start of something wonderful.

The Race did an interview with Leclerc and while many of the answers are repetitive, it also had some interesting tidbits about his and the team's performance this year.

Without a doubt, one of the most "attentive" topics by the Italian team concerns the mechanics of the single-seater. Suspension schemes that will be revised in geometry to find the perfect interaction with the car's aerodynamics. The bellies will also undergo a clear reshaping. On this point a clarification must be made. The Red Bull-style "shark inlets" did not convince the technicians. The advantages of this solution with inverted bellies were supposed to provide an important qualitative step in the management of flows, but the benefit obtained did not respect the values estimated in the design phase.

For this reason, Ferrari has studied a new configuration, starting from the more conventional base of the McLaren, where, however, according to what our editorial staff has learned, an aggressive development has been completed that will go hand in hand with the changes in the upper area of the bellies. Clearly, there are still several months to go before the presentation of the F1 car that will participate in the 2025 racing campaign. For this reason, taking some solutions for granted is never wise. However, the "technical furrow" has been traced and will be carried forward with confidence.

I think it was said by formu1a.uno Newey disagreed with the shark inlets which however was pushed by Wache and Co regardless. If what is being said is correct, it seems Ferrari's engineers have ultimately agreed with Newey.

As I remember they said he hated the bazookas on the engine cover, and it was formulapassion not formu1a uno
FORZA FERRARI!

Based on performance, the entire car was hated...
