Ferrari, comforting results on filming day: the Macarena wing will debut in Miami

An ingenious winger against the Mercedes power unit Ferrari yesterday had the first of the two filming days allowed by regulation. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton completed 100km each with the Ferrari SF26 which maintained a constant configuration as required by the regulations on these occasions. The Scuderia from Maranello tested various innovations – a new floor and new aerodynamic parts – and the center of attention was certainly the ‘Macarena’ rear wing which has not yet made its debut in Qualifying or in the Race due to problems currently linked to reliability (in particular an imperfect synchronization in the closing phase with the front wing which caused aerodynamic imbalances when braking, a phenomenon which caused Lewis Hamilton to spin in China in the only free practice session carried out in Shanghai). According to estimates, this ingenious wing should guarantee a gain of 8-10 km/h when the wings open, a significant advantage that could help Ferrari counter the supremacy of the Mercedes power unit. Today’s edition of Il Corriere della Sera reports that yesterday had encouraging results to the point of reaching the resolution ahead of the expected debut in Canada. Winger Macarena will debut in Miami.
