Ferrari will introduce a multi-stage and multifaceted upgrade for the Miami Grand Prix, as explained by RacingNews365 technical analyst Paolo Filisetti.
Leading up to the Miami Grand Prix, all teams will be busy analyzing data, running simulations, and preparing upgrades for the upcoming race in Florida.
Ferrari, after assessing the SF-26’s performance in the first three races, is focusing on improving its weaknesses, especially in comparison to Mercedes, while strengthening its existing strong points.
The team’s development strategy involves identifying crucial upgrades and deciding on a timeline for implementing them throughout the season.
The power unit is deemed Ferrari’s most significant weakness, prompting a two-phase response to address the issue.
The first phase will see the introduction of a highly revised software package aimed at enhancing energy management before the Miami race.
This software upgrade is currently undergoing rigorous validation by both the engine and electronics departments, with on-track testing scheduled at Monza ahead of the Florida Grand Prix.
Ferrari is also expecting approval for a more substantial intervention using the ADUO, allowing them to further develop their power unit under a higher spending cap after the sixth race of the season.
