2024 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

So frustrating we didn’t have this car in the middle part of the season. Could have been a very different story this season

Leclerc's Austria/GB disaster didn't help - no points in either race(except a couple in the Austrian sprint) could be a big blow in hindsight. If he'd even just scored the points Sainz did across those two races (30pts) he'd be P2 in the championship right now, albeit still 50pts behind Verstappen.

Seeing how Ferrari ate kerb 2 and 3 turns, I wonder if suspension changes are needed next year? Yes, there is still room for improvement in the fast corners, but it would be a pity to lose such an advantage in the slow corners and on the kerb.

vs Aston.

It's fantastic the car can body the curbs like that, but they're getting pretty close to getting called out for straight up cutting the corners. lol Thankfully the long length of the cars can keep this perhaps a more legal though still very borderline tactic.

Charles did the same thing in 2023 and there were no questions from the stewards

Man is just eating the curbs. Ferrari has been unrivaled in curb riding ability for so long now it's insane.

Could the kerb riding be down to them running push rod front?
What rear layout do they run?

Rear are pull rod.
From the insides, in 2025 there should be pull rod both.

Ferrari will switch suspension layout for aero reasons.

Supposedly no flexi front wing, just a better car set up, which actually correlates with that Vasseur said.

Push rod or pull rod shouldn't impact how the suspension works in any way. It is purely an aerodynamic/packaging solution, at least in theory.

I think it's purely down to Ferrari prioritizing soft suspension in this regulation set. Red Bull and McLaren tend to run more stiff suspension.

[JPower]

Ferrari has been aggressive on curbs for years. Binotto made it a point at Monza 2021 that lap time would be gained by using them as much as possible.

Don't think layout has anything to do with it.

Well fingers crossed, but they'd definitely be within their rights to tell them to cut it out and delete lap times from it. This is the kind of corner cutting you see sim racers doing to exploit every bit of allowable track limits possible. lol

None of the quotes there deny changing anything for a more flexible front wing, though. I think it's quite clear they did, and they will of course never admit it, as no team would. Notice how much emphasis he keeps putting on 'interpretation of the rules' and whatnot and saying the FIA are happy with the car. They know what they're doing, and are just playing the game like everybody else.

Going from the misery of Austria to the domination of Austin was not merely just setup differences as he's cheekily suggesting.

Yeah, no team would come out "the new one flexes like crazy, not sure how it's legal".
