Is Ferrari’s wobble definitely over or could Monza have been an anomaly? Who is it particularly bad news for if Ferrari is able to win regularly again? And how should we judge that big upgrade?
Ferrari ended its seven-race win drought in Formula 1 with Charles Leclerc’s victory at the Italian Grand Prix, putting them back in contention after a string of only three podium finishes. The implications for the rest of the season remain uncertain as Monza, being an ultra-low-downforce track, makes drawing definitive conclusions challenging. Ferrari focused on a low-downforce package at Monza, with upgrades to the front and rear wings enhancing top speed. The introduction of a new floor design at Monza aimed to address issues faced since the Spanish Grand Prix’s problematic upgrade. Team principal Fred Vasseur and driver Carlos Sainz cautiously optimistic, noting that a return to conventional tracks like Austin will provide clearer insights into the upgrades. Despite challenges, Ferrari’s strong showing at Monza has reignited hopes for their constructors’ championship aspirations.
