Ferrari SF-24 first opponent of Red Bull
More music compared to 2023. If a year ago Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were taken aback by the unpredictability of the Ferrari SF-23, the SF-24 on the second day of testing in Bahrain demonstrated that it was born well. In addition to the single lap speed, to reassure the drivers and technicians of the Scuderia di Maranello there is a sparkling race simulation with constant times and laughable tire degradation.
“A shot for pride, a marathon to convince. New air in the desert, a Ferrari that works hard and produces hopes. In Maranello they had kept a low profile while awaiting the verdicts from the track – the opening of the service of Corriere della Sera edited by Daniele Sparisci – the new machine, the SF-24, she was born wellresponds to the commands in the same way in which it was conceived in the simulator, the Red Bull in the hands of Sergio Perez does not have the superpowers like when Verstappen drives, in the chasing group the McLaren is in good shape, the Mercedes quite well, but the Ferrari It seems the best equipped.”
The print focuses on the excellent race simulation carried out by Carlos Sainz: “More than the 1'29″921 with C4 tyres, therefore with a compound advantage over the competition, the race simulation carried out at sunset by fitting the same tires that the teams will have at their disposal in the first GP on 2 March is reassuring: no problems and an encouraging pace. The first objectives of the 2024 Rossa, to have a car that is easier to drive and which does not eat up the tyres, seem to have been achieved”writes Stefano Mancini in his article.
Today the grand finale. Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez will be on track in the morning session and sparks are expected between Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen in the afternoon session, when the track conditions will be similar to those that the drivers will encounter in Qualifying and in the Race on Friday and next Saturday when it goes the first round between Red Bull and Ferrari is on stage.
