Ferrari in the third round of the F1 registered 2024 he won with a double. An indescribable emotion. A clear and direct message Milton Keynes: “Hey Red Bull… be careful because as soon as you make a misstep we’re there.” Furthermore, considering the race pace shown by the SF-24 during Friday, according to many, the Modena team could have played for the triumph even with Verstappen on the track if he hadn’t suffered from the right rear brake problem. This is because the Italian car had shown truly optimal management of the compounds.
Sober up for the triumphant Australian stage, the Scuderia Ferrari awaits new answers regarding the quality of the latest aeromechanical work by Maranelloin the splendid layout of Suzuka headquarters of Japanese Grand Prix. The Japanese event has been very bitter in the last two years for the historic Italian team. In the 2022in fact, we will all remember how Charles Leclerc he was penalized on the last lap of the race, losing the second step of the podium. A result that automatically mathematically assigned the drivers’ title to a radiant man Max Verstappen.
While the past season of F1however, the result was in some ways even worse as, behind the fugitive “Flying Dutchman”, the McLaren Of Norris And Plates. Charles, fourth at the finish line, paid a gap of over forty seconds. For the SF-23 the rising sun track was “perfect” in highlighting the gaps in the project 675, even in the advanced version. Particularly in T1characterized by snake uphill, last year’s single-seater struggled terribly both in comparison to the Red Bull than the papaya-colored single-seaters.
F1|Ferrari: in Japan without fear of failure
Vasseur He always encourages his team to take calculated risks without fear of failure. For many years, the concept of providing the minimum union contribution within the GES it gave the serenity of being safe from criticism, or even worse, of being the victim of a witch hunt as useless as it was divisive. The French manager’s beliefs are poles apart. No one should be afraid of making mistakes. According to the native of Draveil if something goes wrong, he will be the first to support the team. The team principal considers confidence as an important factor and is convinced that the first three races of the season have contributed to increasing self-esteem within his team team.
Nourishing this spirit of challenging Red Bull in each Grand Prix Of F1stands as a logical consequence of this path. Fred he is aware that the undertaking remains very difficult and for this very reason he pushes his team as he considers it more than crucial to get through the weekend without problems and without losing even a minute during free practice. After just three races, on different tracks, it is always difficult to estimate the gap from the SF-24 compared to RB20. However, the technicians paid by Via Abetone Inferiore 4they believe that the margin on the latest project of Adrian Newey remain in the order of three/four tenths of a second.
An estimate that probably reduces the double of Melbourne, labeling it almost as an “exception” compared to a still significant competitive advantage. However Vasseur he truly believes in resilience. The transalpine doesn’t think at all that the Red Bull has an ingenious solution that alone is worth four tenths. He is more likely to believe that the combination of various details provides him with this advantage. Therefore, it will be necessary to develop the strengths of your technical project, without thinking that the single-seater produced in factory Of Milton Keynes has a magic weapon that makes it different from all other cars.
The basis of Ferrari SF-24 it is finally very solid and coherent in its behavior. A correlation between track and simulator that seems to have been achieved once and for all. We are talking about a necessary and vital condition in F1in order to plan effective evolutionary development. Suzuka, in this sense, it will be a very important exam. It’s difficult to replicate what happened atAlbert Park but, being much closer to the top than in the last edition of the Japanese stage, still remains the declared objective of the prancing Horse. A team that has stopped being afraid…
