Ferrari is confident regarding its prospects of a competitive showing in Formula 1’s inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix this coming
Ferrari has had an inconsistent season due to their unpredictable car, currently placing third in the Constructors’ standings, 420 points behind Red Bull. However, their decision to prioritize top-end speed over cornering performance during the winter could benefit them in the upcoming race in Las Vegas. The street circuit features a long straight that rivals the speeds of Monza, where Ferrari previously achieved a podium finish. Furthermore, the team has performed well at street circuits this season, with pole positions and victories in Baku and Singapore. Ferrari is optimistic about the low-downforce requirements of the Las Vegas circuit and hopes to rectify the issues with their car design for next season. They recognize the importance of having a wider operating window to compete with Red Bull, whose strength lies in their broad operating range. Despite the challenges posed by a unique track configuration and cold temperatures, Ferrari sees the race in Las Vegas as an opportunity to close the gap with Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship.
