The new Ferrari that is to come finally has a name: SF-24. As we anticipated in unsuspecting times, January 22, 2024through one of our many writings dedicated to the red concerning the “fairy tale of equal treatment in the near future“, il team Of Maranello chooses the acronym that will accompany the latest aero-mechanical engineering work created in Via Abetone Inferiore 4. There were two hypotheses, continuity won. All this considering that the regulatory body is the same and only some small differences that do not change the substance of things will be present.
Il prancing Horse is getting closer to the presentation of the single-seater 2024. There’s a lot of waiting to peek at the new shapes. We’ll have to wait l’unveiling of the February 13th when, twenty-four hours before the day dedicated to lovers, behind closed doors, the Modena team will offer a first look at the project 676. A car completely revised, 95%, as the protagonists themselves have made known. A work program that has accelerated in recent days to assemble the weapon that claims to challenge RB20. A very complicated undertaking bearing in mind the technical advantage of Red Bull.
In the meantime, information of an informative nature, comes the agreement with Ceva Logistics. A partnership extended through a new multi-year agreement with the transalpine company. Let’s talk about the important issue related to logistics through strengthening between the parties. An enormous field of action that includes a “global network” to guarantee road, maritime, air and rail transport which, moreover, from 2023 foresees a clear reduction in the carbon footprint in the many trips to be combined during the year.

To conclude this introduction before moving on to the focus of the paper, it is worth briefly commenting on the words Mark Gene. The Spaniard has been working for the redhead for years. As a person informed about the facts, although his work in Ferrari is anything but, the Catalan claims that the current indications of the simulator on the SF-24 they are better than last year’s. Although we have to wait for the confirmation track, the feedback of the former pilot of Minardi e Williams offers a sigh of relief.
Ferrari SF-24: the work program relating to the updates of the 2024 car has been set
In F1 nothing happens by chance. According to our information, a briefing operation in which the entire group participated GES. An opportunity to discuss the details relating to the assembly of the car 2024 and, at the same time, define the work program that will start during the test officials. A three day rehearsal Bahrain which will see the new aerodynamic features of the single-seaters take to the track.
Fundamental context for studying in depth the behavior of Ferrari SF-24. A collection of data which subsequently, in the weeks that will separate the red team from the start of the championship, will be very useful for creating a cross-comparison with the results obtained through powerful calculators. Validate the project 676 on the track it won’t be easy. Hiccups are always the order of the day in the top category of motorsport. Which is why every little detail will be evaluated with extreme attention.

This because layout e temperature a Sakhir they do not offer absolute feedback on the performance of the cars. Not to mention that to understand the real potential of a car F1 brand new, history teaches, at least three races are needed if not more. Time frame in which they are usually decided upon up-date already programmed. However, to avoid past mistakes that pushed the red towards unprofitable shores, the operational program will await precise confirmations.
Cardilefrom what we have learned, would prefer to delay the production of the update of a few weeks if the data collected in Bahrain they won’t be what you hoped for. A provision that aims to forge new components only when the certainty of having taken the correct path becomes present. The next 2 years of the regulation will not see substantial changes and a hypothetical “technical distraction” towards a wrong path would, in fact, waste more time having to retrace one’s steps.
