It's always been like this: to win, you have to push your machine at the limit. Last year, Red Bull achieved this by reaching this limit in terms of horses and aerodynamic efficiency, given the speed demonstrated by the RB18 with DRS wide open.
Ferraris at work
For many weeks now, there have been multiple speculations about the 2023 cars, especially from Maranello. In fact, all we do is talk about how the new one is red should bring a car to Bahrain similar by concept to the F1-75, albeit with some differences. These changes will be mainly for the drag reduction in order to best expose those 15 horses recovered. Let's talk about horses recovered thanks to some tweaks to the reliability of the Superfast of Team and it cannot be said that some details have not been taken from other stables, including il Milton Keynes team.
Project 675, trying to go over the weight limit
Recently, however, there has been talk of a detail (which should be confirmed) which could help bridge the gap with the Austrian team on the tire management. Ferrari engineers would be trying to reduce the weight of the car up to even up to exceed the limit imposed by the FIA of 796 kg, already lowered by 2 kg since last year.
This, by regulation, it can be done and in the past season we had already seen him with Alfa Romeo. Being below this threshold will result in the use of a ballast so that the vehicle weight corresponds to the previously established weight. The latter can be arranged anywhere in the car and the Italian team could exploit this in their favor to distribute the additional weight in a strategic area of the car to reduce tire wear. According to other rumors, this idea would in turn be linked to the arrival of Frederic Vasseur, former team principal of Alfa Romeo, the same team that had this one last year brilliant idea.
