The Scuderia has introduced a major upgrade package for this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola.
Ferrari performance engineer Jock Clear revealed extensive upgrades on the cars for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, adding more “flavour” to the package unveiled at the start of the season. The team made noticeable progress at the beginning of the year, improving tyre management and race pace. This advancement helped Ferrari surpass McLaren and establish itself as the second-best package on the grid early in the season. However, McLaren has recently challenged Ferrari, winning the Miami Grand Prix with Lando Norris. Ferrari brought its own improvements to Imola, described by Clear as “more chocolatey.” Charles Leclerc’s strong performance at Imola’s Friday practices showcased the potential of the updated SF-24, with the team focusing on addressing weaknesses and refining setups to exploit the car’s full capabilities.
