How Ferrari has kept itself in the F1 hunt despite no major upgrades
Ferrari’s impressive performance so far is noteworthy because the team has achieved it without introducing any major upgrades to their car. The upcoming European season is expected to bring significant developments at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Despite this, the team has only made minor tweaks, such as adjusting the chord length of the rear leg of the rear suspension’s upper wishbone fairing in Japan. Ferrari, like other teams, uses a multi-link arrangement with its upper wishbone, offering aerodynamic flexibility and optimizing the brake duct outlet. Surprisingly, Ferrari has maintained the same rear wing specification in the first four races, choosing to bring old options from 2023 as fallbacks if needed for specific conditions. They have tailored their aerodynamic setup by adjusting the beam wing arrangement for different downforce requirements at each race weekend. All eyes are now on Ferrari to see the major development step they will introduce at Imola.
