Ala Macarena Ferrari: estimated gains between 8 and 10 km/h

Crucial day in Monza Ferrari is on track in Monza for the first of the two seasonal filming days allowed by the regulations. The Scuderia from Maranello has decided to ‘spend’ the first 200 km available to try various new features in view of the return to the track scheduled for Miami, Florida from 1st to 3rd May after more than a month’s break. As revealed by the AutoRacer.it newspaper today, the new ‘updated’ Macarena wing will also be tested in the temple of speed to try to resolve the problems linked to the ‘reliability’ of this instrument. According to estimates, the wing should guarantee a gain of between 8 and 10 km/h in ‘Straight line mode’, which sees the pilots opening both the front and rear wings in the designated areas. In addition to the aerodynamic innovations – bottom, wings and more – the Ferrari has been lightened and according to the Italian newspaper the slimming treatment should guarantee a gain of one tenth compared to the SF-26 that took to the track in the first three GPs of the season which ended with as many third places (two obtained by Charles Leclerc and one by Lewis Hamilton).
