F1 News: Ferrari 2024 Car Predicted To Be “A Tenth And A Half” Faster With Early Progress Update
Ferrari’s 2024 championship contender is said to be the first to meet the FIA’s 798kg weight limit in the ground effect era. So reducing the weight of the “676” will not only improve your speed, but also help with tire maintenance. This makes the necessary difference to help reduce weight thanks to the compact battery, narrow gearbox and lightweight body. The new car could be “10.5” faster on circuits such as the Barcelona circuit, with Formula 1 reporting that the 10kg loss could lead to an improvement of up to three-tenths of a second. Catalonia. This was reported by Motorsport.com. Last year, the SF-23 F1 car exceeded the weight limit by 6 kg. Ferrari technical director Enrico Cardil said the weight reduction had significantly improved the team’s chances of being a strong title contender this year. For the 2023 model car, Ferrari had serious problems with unpredictable tire wear last year. However, there is hope that the lighter weight of the 676 can alleviate, if not completely solve, the problem of tire wear. Unlike rival team Red Bull, where the Ferrari RB20 failed, the 2024 car received more positive news, successfully passing the FIA crash test. The Milton Keynes team experimented differently with the car’s nose section, but their first attempt failed. Additionally, wind tunnel data and simulator test results from 2024 were so promising that Maranello staff were prohibited from comparing the 676 to the SF-23.
Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will likely compete in better cars this year, winning more races and taking the championship. Last year, Sainz was the only Red Bull driver to win a race all season.
The Scuderia Ferrari 676 is scheduled to be unveiled at Fiorano on February 13, but it’s unclear whether it will be a strong contender for the RB20. Only time will tell.
