The new Ferrari car has so far only been seen by the specialists of the Italian team who are busy with the assembly and preparation for tomorrow’s presentation, but the Italian press writes that the SF-23 has a different shape of the side pontoons, a narrower rear, an improved gearbox and diffuser.
In addition, an indirect effect of the complex of works aimed at improving the reliability of the turbine and motor-generator MGU-H was a certain increase in the power of the power plant. Although the team did not officially confirm this, the authoritative Gazzetta dello Sport still writes about the extra 30 hp that emerged during bench tests.
Immediately following the presentation of the SF-23 tomorrow, the team is expected to carry out a short 15-kilometer first break-in period of the new car in Fiorano, as the factory test track is not an official Formula 1 circuit. in the same scenario a year ago with the introduction of the F1-75.
And the next day, on February 15, there is an official filming day, during which the team’s riders are allowed to ride up to 100 km, but on special Pirelli demonstration tires.
For the first time, Frederic Vasseur will take part in tomorrow’s presentation as team leader, but all other representatives of the top management of the Scuderia have kept their posts. Laurent Mequis remains the sporting director of the team, Enrico Cardile is in charge of the aerodynamics department and Enrico Gualtieri is in charge of the engine building department.
