Ferrari’s massive Emilia Romagna GP upgrades revealed at Fiorano Test
Earlier this week, reports started coming in suggesting that Ferrari will be bringing the upgrades they’ve been talking about for over a month at the Imola GP, the first race in Italy. The upgrades are rumored to increase the downforce by 15 points, meaning 3 tenths of improvement. These upgrades will help the Scuderia inch closer to the Milton Keynes-based team and maybe even overtake them.
The Italian team tested these upgrades at their test track, the Fiorano Circuit, utilizing their filming day to full advantage. In the images that have surfaced, the most significant upgrade is to that of the sidepod, as Ferrari moves away from the underbite style inlets, and opts for the RB20 style overbite sidepod. The engine had been reworked a bit as well to accommodate for the change in internals including the radiators and cooling ducts. Also, a new floor is rumored to be on the car along with an expected weight reduction.
