Ferrari has had a strong start to the 2024 season, securing six podium finishes and a 1-2 victory in Australia, placing them second in the championship standings. Despite this success, Ferrari has not made updates to its SF-24 car, while McLaren’s upgraded MCL38 propelled Lando Norris to victory in Miami. The team plans to introduce upgrades at Imola, where the last win was with Michael Schumacher in 2006. Ferrari will use filming sessions with the modified car to prepare for the race weekend, with third driver Oliver Bearman gaining valuable track time. Ferrari’s boss, Frederic Vasseur, downplayed expectations for the upgrades but highlighted the importance of overall team performance. The team’s collaboration with HP, seen in their unique livery celebrating American heritage, adds another dimension to their Imola preparations.
