Be ready for some disappointing news, Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] fans. Reports suggesting that Ferrari was coming to Austria with upgrades are apparently false. Last month there were reports suggesting that Ferrari would have a drastically different car from the one we saw during winter testing. They were supposed to introduce an upgrade to the engine and the gearbox along with the nose of the SF1000. However, 10 days before the season opener, a Ferrari spokesman claims that these are only rumors.

A spokesperson for Ferrari said, “We only have very small changes to the car. It was more important for us to understand the SF1000 better. In fact, we made a good step forward.” The German publication adds that the first significant modifications will only come after the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Maranello based outfit looked way off the pace during the winter tests conducted in Barcelona. Mercedes’ boss, Toto Wolff even accused them of sandbagging.

The supposed new engine upgrade would have given Ferrari an extra 15 BHP, that too legally. Now, however, they seem to be firmly behind Mercedes. The Silver Arrows, on the other hand, confirmed that they have made some aerodynamic upgrades to the best car on the grid. This comes as a rude awakening to other teams and to those fans who thought they might get to witness a more competitive season this time around. We’ll soon find out how big a gap actually exists between the likes of Mercedes and Ferrari when the season commences in Austria, on the 5th of July. (Disclaimer: Ferrari fans might not like the answer they get).

According to reports, a Ferrari spokesperson denies claims that the
Maranello-based outfit will come to Austria with significant upgrades.

<h2>Austrian Grand Prix - Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The Austrian Grand Prix is a yearly Formula One race. An FIA authorized racing event, the first F1 race in Austria was held in 1964. Formula One got back to Austria in 1970–1987 and 1997–2003. Austria once again started hosting the races in 2014.

2020 F1 season was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. There were numerous changes in the 2020 schedule, with multiple Grand Prix weekends being cancelled. As a result, Austria facilitated two consecutive Formula One races at the Red Bull Ring in 2021 - the Styrian Grand Prix and Austrian Grand Prix. Despite the fact that the Styrian GP was a one-off race, F1 saved it for the 2021 schedule too.
