Mercedes are not the only ones working on new sidepods it seems with a report saying Ferrari will unveil their new design at Imola.
Ferrari have perhaps the most distinctive sidepods of any team on the grid and although it is not that area that has caused them problems over the past year, there is always room for improvement.the Italian edition of Motorsport.comBut worryingly for Ferrari fans, the upgrade is not expected to put them in competition with Red Bull but instead hold off Aston Martin for the P2 spot.
Ferrari had hoped to have these upgrades ready for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix which comes following a three-week break after the race in Melbourne but the parts will not be ready in time. The work is being done under the leadership of head of the chassis area Enrico Cardile but the new design is not expected to look like Red Bull’s.
The main goal of the change is to improve performance at a lower ground limit with the team spending much of the off-season focused on aerodynamic efficiency to reduce drag, with the belief that porpoising would not play too much of a factor in 2023. Ferrari are not the only ones who will soon unveil a new sidepod design with work underway at Mercedes’ Brackley base in the hope of also finding performance.
