Ferrari claims it’s a “small step” away from Red Bull. So will its major Imola F1 upgrade provide just that?
Ferrari will introduce its first significant upgrade package of the season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, described by team principal Vasseur as a “small step” that could boost their performance against Red Bull. The package includes modifications to the sidepod inlets, floor, and rear wing, initially tested at Fiorano last week. The effectiveness of this upgrade will be crucial in determining if Ferrari can narrow the gap with Red Bull as the season progresses. The close competition in performance across the field suggests even small improvements could bring Ferrari closer to Red Bull’s level. With the recent Miami GP showing Ferrari’s progression and ability to challenge Red Bull, Vasseur remains optimistic about their potential this season. The Imola upgrade signifies the team’s continuous efforts to enhance their competitiveness and could be a significant move towards closing in on Red Bull consistently.
