P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ferrari is the only team to deny Red Bull a victory in 2023, with it coming on the last street circuit in Singapore as F1 heads to Las Vegas, with the layout set to help the team.
According to senior performance engineer Jock Clear, the Las Vegas Grand Prix will be favorable for Ferrari due to the track layout. Ferrari has performed well at street tracks this year, particularly in Azerbaijan and Singapore, with Carlos Sainz securing a non-Red Bull win in Singapore. The upcoming race in Vegas features a combination of permanent and temporary circuit sections, with low downforce expected to be the preferred setup. Clear believes that Ferrari can be competitive at this low-downforce circuit, citing their strong performance at the previous low-downforce track in Monza. However, he acknowledges that Ferrari’s car can be challenging to set up, as it has a narrow operating window compared to Red Bull’s car. Next year, Ferrari aims to design a more adaptable car with a broader operating window.
