Ferrari's Miami Offensive Takes Shape
Ferrari is arriving at the Miami Grand Prix with significant aerodynamic upgrades designed to close the gap to Mercedes. According to AutoRacer.it, the team is bringing more than one full upgrade package to the weekend, with team principal Fred Vasseur having previously indicated the scale of development work undertaken since the Suzuka round.
Flip-Flop Rear Wing Confirmed
A key element of Ferrari's technical push is the introduction of a new rear wing design. Formula1.com reported that Vasseur has confirmed Ferrari will run its 'flip-flop' rear wing during this weekend's Miami Grand Prix. AutoRacer.it identified this as the reverse-angle 'Macarena' wing, which was previewed during Monza's filming day and is now ready for competitive deployment.
Early Session Leadership
The upgrades appear to be having an immediate effect. According to Mundo Deportivo, Charles Leclerc led the opening free practice session at Miami, piloting a Ferrari that carries important improvements aimed at challenging Mercedes. The session left open the question of whether any team can match Mercedes' pace at the circuit.
Steward Action
GPFans reported that Leclerc has been hit with a punishment from FIA race stewards during the Miami Grand Prix weekend, though specific details of the infringement were not provided in available sources.
