Ferrari has decided: it will develop the SF21 up to Barcelona
Or rather, the mini development programming that all teams have, starts from afar. When the cars are ready and unveiled, there are already a series of upgrades in the pipeline. Some deliberated others did not because they expect confirmation from real performances on the track.
On the SF1000 a good part of the first ones were interrupted and trashed simply because without power it would have aggravated the problems or at least would not have solved them, creating additional work and a useless waste of energy in the factory and in the field.
At this time, the package of data obtained from the three-day test, even if rather limited , in comparison with those after the simulations, guarantees that we can go ahead with the news and reap the hoped-for benefits.
This path will be short for everyone , perhaps a little less only for those who fight for the world championship. In Maranello the aim is to improve a lot but it is also unlikely that they will be part of the match.
2022 is the year on which Binotto plays his cards and even more than that. Project 674 has begun and the regulation that balances performance should not be overlooked, the discussed BoP ( for more information ), which will reduce the hours spent in the wind tunnel and CFD based on the manufacturers' ranking in the next survey which will be on 30 June .
So it will be important to concentrate development in one or two important steps instead of the usual four.
Team principal Mattia Binotto will be present during the race weekend and will continue to be so until the 2022 project enters a different phase and a greater presence in Maranello will be important.
Ferrari will end the campaign of developments already planned in Barcelona. Track that will provide important answers from a technical point of view on the general trend of everyone's performance.
