Ferrari has explained how learning from a challenging weekend in Austria earlier in the 2024 F1 season helped it to claim a 1-2 in the United States Grand Prix.
Ferrari showed improvement in the Constructors’ Championship in Austin with a 1-2 finish by Leclerc and Sainz, moving the team to second place, 8 points behind Red Bull and 40 points behind McLaren with five races left. A mid-season development misstep in Spain caused issues for Ferrari, with a new floor design leading to lost points over the summer. Upgrades in Monza corrected the mishap, but Ferrari’s Senior Performance Engineer noted that improvements in Austin were also due to lessons learned in similar circuits like the Red Bull Ring. Clear believes these lessons are generic and can be applied across upcoming races, including Qatar, as the team aims to maximize its package and continue its pursuit of the Constructors’ title.
