AFTER THE PROMISING CANADIAN GP, FERRARI INTENDS TO CONTINUE ON THIS PATH BY BRINGING NEW AND AGGRESSIVE UPDATES WITH THE SAME OBJECTIVE: ENDING RED BULL’S DOMINANCE.
The last Canadian Grand Prix at the 4.361-kilometre Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal rekindled hope for the red team after weeks of issues and mistakes. The Ferraris finished in fourth and fifth place, respectively, with excellent strategy and proper tire management. Following in the footsteps of Mercedes and Aston Martin, the prancing horse team aims to put an end to the dominance of Red Bull, which seems to be leading a championship of its own.
Currently, the red team is the fourth fastest in Formula 1, following Mercedes and Aston Martin. The two teams have introduced significant updates at Monaco and Montreal. After abandoning the “baby-bath” sidepods at the Spanish GP, Ferrari intends to introduce new and more aggressive updates.
Formula1uno reports that Enrico Cardile, the head of chassis at Ferrari, has led a new development that will see the SF-23 equipped with a new floor… and soon. According to their information, Ferrari will use the second allowed “filming day” at Fiorano next Tuesday to understand how the car will perform following these changes: a new floor, new front wing, and new rear brake ducts.
WHEN WILL WE SEE THESE UPDATES?
These mentioned updates will make their debut at the Fiorano circuit on Tuesday when the Maranello team will carry out a Filming Day, but for now there are doubts whether they will be present as early as the next race in Spielberg, Austria. This is mainly due to the format of the weekend, which includes a sprint race.

This means that there will only be one hour of free practice available to the teams on Friday before qualifying, so it would be risky to introduce the updates given the limited time available before the fight for pole position.
However, regardless of the updates, Red Bull seems to be preparing for a battle with Ferrari in their home race. It is known that the circuit suits the SF-23. “The Red Bull Ring suits them. If Charles Leclerc starts from the first or second row, it won’t be a great Oktoberfest for Max,” said Helmut Marko.
