Racing Bulls anticipates some news in Miami
Rosario Giuliana
Racing Bulls is ahead of the game with updates in Miami for a new path of development.
With the further point gained in Japan, Racing Bulls aim to confirm themselves as sixth force also in China .
At Suzuka, as we had anticipated , the Anglo-Italian team had introduced an update to the pavement of the surface, which correlated as the team expected , which is why the new specification was promoted on both cars starting from FP2 even though it was not a significant news .
In China there will be no other significant updates, while it will be the turn of the current direct competitors, with Haas which will in fact bring the first part of its first package to the track .
At Racing Bulls the data between simulator, tunnel and track are however showing a certain correlation which gives hope to technical director Joddy Egginton: "Everyone in Faenza and Bicester is continuing to work very hard, and we are seeing the results on the track" .
A start to the season that did not begin without some youthful hiccups , but which the Egginton engineering team was able to manage in a short time. “Now we can focus solely on extracting VCARB load: The results we are seeing encourage us and give us further energy to continue pushing and developing.”
Precisely in this regard, in Bicester they worked on the development of a rather important package, initially scheduled for Imola but which, thanks to a development push, will see a good part of the updates anticipated in Miami .
The American weekend will also be influenced by the sprint format but in Faenza they are quite confident of the new evolutionary package, which will also include a new fund, as a macro-component subject to changes.
The new floor will give extra load and will be combined with the current upper appearance , which however will not undergo changes.
The new fund will be a first step towards new development paths, in view of future developments, which will arrive in other subsequent phases during the current season. The team's target remains to get closer to the top 5 in terms of gap, seeing Stroll's Aston Martin as a possible target in the short term.
