An Italian journalist reported on corresponding problems a week ago. As ABMS has now been confirmed, the data is actually said to be worse than expected. Accordingly, the car could even have a serious error in aerodynamics for this Formula 1 season, which neither the simulation specialists nor the wind tunnel engineers have been able to track down.
It is quite possible that Ferrari wants to design the car's angle of attack based on the Red Bull model. "Using a steep angle of attack on current cars helps you in several areas," explains ex-Jordan designer Gary Anderson. "But if just one little thing is wrong, there is a chain reaction from the front spoiler, which may be blown incorrectly. Then you have a serious problem that is not easy to solve." A brand new Ferrari simulator could help, but it won't be fully operational until spring.
Alone: Ferrari also has to worry in the drive sector. Reason: The automotive authority FIA has, at the insistence of Red Bull and Mercedes dyed in late 2019 grey areas in the range of gasoline flow rate and oil injection black. It was precisely in these areas that the competition accused Ferrari of interpreting the regulations appropriately.
"We are very happy about the clarifications that came. Everyone can benefit from this," said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner.
One thing is certain: It will not be easy for Sebastian Vettel to finally realize his dream and win the title with Ferrari. The pre-season test drives in Barcelona in February (from February 19) will provide initial insights into whether Ferrari was able to react to the problems in the wind tunnel in good time.
This time the new Ferrari will not be unveiled in the factory in Maranello but in the historic Romolo Valli theatre of Reggio Emilia. The Italian tricolor was born there 223 years ago. The new red goddess will be presented at 6.30 pm. Fans can watch on Ferrari's social media channels.
