"Le problème à l'avant est un problème que Ferrari porte avec elle depuis trop d'années."Vanja #66 wrote: ↑11 Jan 2024, 14:30Thanks for sharing, this bit is worth commenting on. The front end of SF-23 was weaker than expected due to inadequate design, but that's not all. During the season, to offset the rear aero instability, the team decided to further weaken the front and have more rear balance than they wanted, as was reported. This left the rear more stable and less prone to snaps of oversteer, but Leclerc struggled to extract the most from the car. Japan upgrade made the rear more stable and Leclerc was able to get the better balance. Should be said, the "carried (weak front end) with it for too many years" is quite bad writing, since the F1-75 was exceptionally well balanced even after the TD39 and both drivers were able to adapt to it very well. So of all the points they posted, this was definitely completely incorrect.KimiRai wrote: ↑11 Jan 2024, 00:00- The problem at the front is one that Ferrari has carried with it for too many years. Something that doesn't necessarily suit Leclerc's driving style. The floorboard at Suzuka is a good first step, which will also improve the driver's confidence. There is a clear desire on the part of the engineers to strengthen the front end.
At first I thought it could have been a poor translation but it seems similar to what the translator conveyed
