RacingNews365’s technical analyst Paolo Filisetti, breaks down what upgrades have been introduced from McLaren, Ferrari and Red Bull for this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.
Ferrari introduced a long-planned aerodynamic upgrade at the Austrian Grand Prix, which started to be designed just four races into the season. The SF-25’s problems after the first four rounds highlighted vulnerable areas of the car. The extreme concept of Ferrari’s 2024 challenger led to concerns with the car’s set-up, especially regarding the base plate height. The clash of aerodynamic advantages and rear suspension deficiencies caused excessive wear on the floorboard, leading to disqualification for Charles Leclerc in China. Despite some performance sacrifices, Ferrari aims to widen the SF-25’s set-up options for more stability. This weekend at the Red Bull Ring, Ferrari hopes the new floor upgrade will offer better predictability in corners and improved race pace.
