Leclerc: 2024 Ferrari F1 car ‘very different’ car to this year
“Despite struggling with the SF23 throughout the 2023 season, Ferrari has shown improvement in results since the summer break. Carlos Sainz secured pole positions in the Italian and Singapore Grands Prix, and went on to win in Singapore, marking Ferrari’s first victory since 2022. These performance upgrades have given hope to Charles Leclerc, who believes they will benefit the team in the development of their 2024 car. The 2024 project is said to be very different from the current car, and the team has learned valuable lessons from recent races. While the upgrades may not completely turn their season around, they are seen as a step in the right direction for both this year and next. Ferrari’s Team Principal, Frederic Vasseur, is confident that the team’s new philosophy for next season will not lead to a similar downfall as experienced by Mercedes with their ‘zeropod’ concept. Vasseur believes the improved understanding and development of the SF23 will contribute positively to their future endeavors.”
