Ferrari turned up in Miami with a new floor and a full commitment to the single pylon rear wing they had trailed at earlier races. The floor is part of an upgrade which will come to full fruition at Imola with revised upper bodywork.Ferrari chose to bring the floor part of the package to confirm that it did what it was designed to do, which was, to quote the team’s senior performance engineer, Jock Clear, “To make the car more benign and predictable in the medium and high-speed corners.” This development was triggered by the feedback of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz from the first two races that the car was too peaky in the way it delivered its downforce, making it unpredictable in the faster corners. With the current generation of venturi-tunnelled ground effect cars, it is possible to redistribute the underfloor pressures to improve the consistency of the aerodynamics.
