Miami GP F1 trial poses threat to Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari season
An FIA trial at the Miami Grand Prix could impact Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari’s F1 season due to their strong race starts. Ferrari’s rapid starts have been crucial in leading races, especially in light of new power unit regulations. While Ferrari excelled at starts, other manufacturers including dominant Mercedes struggled. The FIA trial in Miami aims to test a new start procedure involving MGU-K assistance to prevent stalling cars. Ferrari’s competitive advantage in starts may diminish if the proposed measures are implemented following the trial. The FIA clarified that the changes are not designed to favor struggling power unit manufacturers and are based on acceleration thresholds post-start.
