ferrari is 2nd
There is a disagreement between a driver and an engineer.
I think the expectations for last year were probably higher as well, so bigger disappointment.CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 23:35The guy drove the truck that was SF1000 and yet the SF23 felt worse
The SF1000 probably felt better than the SF90 and SF23, though.
More from Matteo Bobbi (Sky italy commentator, Formu1a.uno collaborator) as he said that Ferrari team members told him the car is a massive massive improvement compared to the SF 23. Having said that, RB is unfortunately still ahead because they had so much time to pursue new aero developments last year.
Now the car has still some weaknesses the Team is working on to improve. According to Formu1a.uno information there is a huge bodywork upgrade running in the wind tunnel right now that should be ready at least for Imola.

According to them is a huge upgrade so likely that they won't make it in time for Suzuka.Interesting. Imola is race 7. Will they do anything before then? Mclaren probably will jump them in Japan if they aren't updating until then.
We don’t even know the gap between teams yet, seems premature to say McL is going to gap them in Japan. I prefer Ferrari followed their process and got comfortable and consistent with it. I don’t need 6 different floors in testing like in 2023.AR3-GP wrote:

I do wonder how good the SF1000 would’ve been had it got the Power Unit of the SF90 (yes I know, found to be illegal, though nobody knew why etc) surely the whole platform was compromised having to run with a detuned Power Unit and having to adjust the setup to compensate for the lack of power/deployment?CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 23:35The guy drove the truck that was SF1000 and yet the SF23 felt worse

I’m positive any car put to the scrutiny the SF-90 went through would be illegal.Schippke wrote:I do wonder how good the SF1000 would’ve been had it got the Power Unit of the SF90 (yes I know, found to be illegal, though nobody knew why etc) surely the whole platform was compromised having to run with a detuned Power Unit and having to adjust the setup to compensate for the lack of power/deployment?CouncilorIrissa wrote: ↑28 Feb 2024, 23:35The guy drove the truck that was SF1000 and yet the SF23 felt worse

But anyway, nice to hear that SF24 seems better to drive than some of the past cars… wonder how it compares to the SF75 (minus the porpoising!).
